Sharks receive grant for Pitch Maintenance

After a long application process that involved sending photos of core samples of all our playing pitches at both Thursley Road and Burford Lodge, we are pleased to announce that Elstead Sharks have secured funding over a 6 year period from the Football Foundation to improve the quality of the pitches at our two sites. With the support of Elstead parish Council we are able to get some much needed treatments for all the playing surfaces, enabling a long term plan to keep the standards as high as possible. We will be able to provide fertiliser, herbicides, decompaction, vertical drainage and some much needed repairs to goal mouth areas. Along with the bore hole project at Thursley Road, we should be seeing lush green grass on our pitches for many years to come, enabling many players to enjoy a good game of footie!
