The pond from which Mumble CC’s Marespool ground takes its name was located close to the current car park entrance
May application of Evolution Pro-Long N liquid fertiliser, a 30:0:0 formulation designed to provide controlled nitrogen feeding over a period of up to eight weeks. It will be applied by a farmer friend of the club using his tractor and mounted sprayer “when weather and ground conditions are right,” said John.
Other products
recommended and used when necessary by the club include T2 Green, a selective broad-spectrum herbicide weed-killer for the control of annual and perennial weeds in managed amenity turf and amenity grassland. Worm activity is controlled by Caste Off, whilst Gostd from Surrey Loams Ltd is the preferred topdressing material.
In 2012, the square will host between eighty and one hundred mid-week and weekend cricket matches, putting tremendous pressure on an area of grass that measures little more than 40m wide by 25m deep. Only six of the twelve senior-level wickets across the square provide sufficient boundary distances for Premier League games, leaving the remainder for use by the club’s second and third elevens and seven junior teams.
Although the two under-11 sides play all of their games on a strip of artificial turf, the high level of use across the rest of the square demands close and regular attention throughout the season from John Blyth and his two assistants. The result is wickets that draw constant
praise from all who bowl or bat on them ... and from the umpires.
Whilst the turfed areas at the Marespool Ground naturally receive close attention, the 2ha ground has undergone many changes over the past thirty-five years, including the construction of three all-weather nets, an electronic scorebox and, last winter, a £50,000 pavilion extension financed from the club’s reserves. The result has produced new changing rooms and toilet facilities for club members, visiting players and umpires, freeing up valuable space in the original building, which should help ensure that teas at Mumbles Cricket Club remain among the very best in South Wales.
