The Final Word


“Stunned that I was completely misquoted” says Keith Kent


KEITH Kent, Head Groundsman at RFU Twickenham, says that recent quotes attributed to him in the industry press have been both inaccurate and misleading. In a statement to Pitchcare’s MD Dave Saltman, Keith said “I took the opportunity at the Groundsman of the Year awards lunch at Saltex to call on everyone involved in the industry to work together to raise the profile of Groundsmen and Groundsmanship.” “After returning from holiday, I


was stunned to see I’d been completely misquoted in two industry publications. They had used my light-hearted comment about the use of the Pitchcare message board to imply that I aimed criticism at Pitchcare whilst praising other industry bodies. This was not the case.” “I have been involved with Pitchcare since its conception and have always been a vocal supporter of the efforts and

achievements of Dave and his team. They have worked tirelessly over the past four years to unite Groundsmen and Greenkeepers working at every level to share information and advice. They continue to create new and innovative ways of working and promoting our industry and have my complete backing.”
