About the project:
As CCGrass first installation through the Football Foundation, by the team at Charles Lawrence on behalf of our Framework partners at The Malcolm Group, the new football pitch at Keyworth United has been a huge success. Although the installation was held up over the winter of 2020-21, due to bad weather, and the build was advised to be put on hold, as soon as the work began again, it was clear this decision was correct and the wait meant the build went without a hiccup.
About the surface:
The smooth fibres in the Superb yarn mean that it is soft to the touch and extremely player-friendly, whilst also being incredibly resilient due to the purer C8 polymer used. Due to the ability of the fibre to “stand up”, the ball roll is as close to a high-quality natural turf pitch as possible, whilst the ease with which the yarn allows players to twist and turn takes football on artificial grass to a new level.
What help did CCGrass give to the project:
CCGrass supported the club, through our Framework manager Alastair Moore, from start to finish. Since the installation has been complete, Bryn and Alastair have visited the pitch numerous times and continually checked to ensure everyone was happy. The relationship created between CCGrass and the team at Keyworth has been fantastic, and we hope to do more with the club in the future.
Testimonial from club:
‘Ironically that first fixture would have been postponed due to the weather, as would a number of other subsequent games and the “all weather” characteristics of the pitch is what is going to make such a difference to the football club as we move into the winter months when all our teams will be able to train at the same world class facility and play its games without having to worry about constant postponements and fixture rescheduling.’ Chris Thompson – Chairman of Keyworth United Football Club & Director of Keyworth Sports Association
Quote from CCGrass:
‘CCGrass are incredibly pleased with the result at Keyworth United. The pitch looks and plays fantastic, from what we’ve heard, and we hope those playing at the club will feel confident that playing on a CCGrass pitch is the best surface to play on. With the CCGrass Superb 52 turf tested to FIFA Quality Pro, the surface and surrounding areas will make a great addition to the club and the wider community.’ UK CEO Bryn Lee
