FC training pitches prove a problem

JOHN Cartwright has admitted Hull FC are looking for a more permanent training solution - with the grass pitches at their University of Hull training base currently 'too hard' to train on.

The Black and Whites are taking their field sessions on the 4G turf at the university's sports complex - the same surface they used for the majority of their pre-season training. However, the preference is to train on grass, something the club has done for the last two summers on the site.

But the ground this year is too hard, presenting a problem for Cartwright's side, who are looking for a long-term grass solution.
