towards an ECB Grant to buy a newer roller. The square is mown twice a week, to 12mm, with the Atco 30” mower, and the pitches are cut using an old Ransomes Greens Pro 20” mower. Eddie does a ten-day pitch
preparation routine and ensures the pitch is repaired after its last allotted game. He hopes to get at least four- five games from each prepared pitch.
Eddie is keen to continue in his
role of groundsman and treasurer with the aim of seeing the new clubhouse built in the not too distant future.
The potential of the site, in terms
of providing sport for the community, is outstanding for both the cricket and rugby club. The rugby club are currently

Rugby club chairman, Julian
Fowler, agrees that it would be the making of the town to have a viable sports facility for the community of Stourport. The clubhouse will be the icing on the cake. The final word goes to Eddie; “I am at the wrong age now to move on but, had I started doing this job twenty-five years ago, I think I would have liked to have made a career of it.” “My future plan is to keep fit and healthy so that, when I do retire from my day job, I can spend more time in the fresh air doing the job I love.”
