Good to head back to Middlewich High School for the 12 month inspection of the 3G pitch we handed over last September. Achieving FIFA Quality performance requirements, the pitch represents a huge improvement on the previous facility. @MiddlewichHigh @SSL_Consultants @sir_brunner

12 months since handover we revisited Monmouth Leisure Centre to review the hockey pitch. The project involved the reconstruction of the old pitch which was suffering from significant drainage issues, new floodlighting & addition of a spectator viewing area. What a difference! 🏑
