Pershore Groundsman Praised: Pershore Town groundsman Tim Phillips was singled out as an unlikely man of the match after ensuring that the club yet again avoided the wipeout of fixtures last weekend.

After snow and then rain, only three fixtures were played in Midland League Division One – and one of those on an artificial pitch.

Despite being next to the river and the soggy conditions, the King George V Stadium was playable and Phillips’ hard work was rewarded with Town’s best league win of the season as they defeated Chelmsley Town 4-0.

Phillips, a former referee, was runner-up in the league’s groundsman of the year competition and his expertise has been visible again.

“Our groundsman has done another great job. The game was never in doubt and that was down to Tim’s hard work,” said manager Quentin Townsend. “Despite all the rain, there was nothing wrong with the pitch.

“We spent quite a lot of money on the pitch in the summer, a four-figure sum, and we’ve turned down offers from clubs to groundshare to protect the pitch. We’ve put the pitch first and foremost.”

UK golf course managers will continue to access products through the UK-wide network of approved Rain Bird contractors, but they will now receive additional support, new product information and after-sales service from Rigby Taylor’s technical field sales force.

Chris Clark, Rigby Taylor’s executive chairman, commented: “We are very pleased at this partnership agreement. The coming together of two such major industry names will bring significant synergistic benefits and our 50 plus team of highly skilled field personnel will be working closely with Rain Bird and its contractors to further establish this exciting range of products as the UK’s brand leader.”

Jimmy Sandison, regional sales manager for Rain Bird in the UK, Ireland, Iceland and Scandinavia explained: “We want to provide the very best levels of service and support to all of our customers. By having Rigby Taylor in place as a strong UK distribution partner for our golf course irrigation products, contractors and course managers will all benefit from a quicker, more efficient service.”

He added: “My expanding team and I will concentrate our technical expertise and irrigation know-how on educating and supporting customers in optimising the performance of their irrigation systems and in using water, energy and human resources more efficiently. We will also be focusing more of our time working with key partners who are designing and specifying new systems and those involved in course renovation projects.”
