Avon receive grant to help with pitch

Avon Rugby Club have been successful in being selected for a grant to undertake a comprehensive pitch maintenance programme on their ground at Hicks Field.

- 

This grant from the Football Foundation will enable a targeted six year campaign to take place with incremental improvements to the playing surface each season.

Having been identified by the RFU as a suitable club with an agreed need to improve the playing surface on their first team pitch, Avon were invited to carry out a thorough pitch inspection assessment via techniques provided by the Grounds Management Association.

With advice from the RFU, Avon then completed a business plan as part of their application for funding through the Football Foundation.
