Outstanding grounds reports for Fenner's

Wednesday 27 January 2010

The ECB recently announced that Fenner's was rated by First Class umpires as the third-best First Class pitch in the country in 2010. Only Test venues Lord's and Old Trafford were awarded higher marks.

It is partly on the strength of this recommendation that MCC has asked Fenner's to be the home ground for the Combined MCCU XI in July and August, and that the ECB has asked Fenner's to host an England Under-19 one day international in 2010.

Our warmest congratulations go to Fenner's Head Groundsman John Moden, who was also recently awarded the MCC's 'Best University Groundsman' award for the fourth year in succession.
