Dan Sanders Wins Groundsman Award

January 15, 2019/in Industry News, News, Press Release/by External Source

Dan Sanders Wins Groundsman Award: Westfields groundsman Dan Sanders has been crowned the Midland Football League Premier Division Groundsman of the Year.

Sanders, from Clehonger, looks after all the main pitch and other pitches as allpay.park.

He also finished runner-up overall in the Midland Football League to Brockton Football Club as Groundsman of the Year.

His certificate was presented by Midland Football League representative Gary Foxall at the home match versus Sporting Khalsa on Saturday.

Westfields’ Chief Executive Andy Morris said: “Dan Sanders is a superb groundsman and has been our groundsman since we took occupation at allpay.park in 2003.

“He has transformed what was an old unused recreational field into a first-class football ground, not only our main stadium pitch but also all the other pitches which are used by our junior, youth and the reserve team in addition to the pitches used by the Hereford Sixth Form College.

“His work and attention to detail has earned him this award for which we are delighted for him as he and his father over the years have spent many hours looking after the ground and getting it in playable condition when other pitches in the area have been waterlogged.

“The award is really well deserved and congratulations to Dan Sanders.”

Vandals Target Angus Golf Club: Members of Letham Grange Golf Club have once again been left counting the costs after vandals tore over the fairways in a late night demolition spree.

Green-keepers arrived on Sunday morning to be met by tyre marks cutting across the 17th fairway and the winter tees in the second incident of its kind over the last few months.

The golf club, once hailed “the Augusta of the north”, was also targeted by thieves last month.

Captain Malcolm Turner spoke of the frustration and disappointment felt by green keepers and members of the not-for-profit club as they are left to once again repair the mess.

He urged neighbours or anyone with information to contact the police.

He said: “This is soul-destroying.

“It looks like one vehicle has come in and made its way down, over the tees.

“The driver then did ‘doughnuts’ in the middle of the fairway, ran over the temporary winter green and drove out the main exit.”

Police Scotland confirmed officers were aware of the incident.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact them on 101.

Opened in 1987 by Sir Henry Cotton, Letham Grange Golf Club was bracketed alongside Augusta National, the home of the US Masters, by Golf Monthly.
