The growth of the partnership to once again include Derbyshire FA is testament to our dedication to raising awareness around, and the quality of, effective 3G pitch maintenance regimes. We look forward to supporting Derbyshire FA and sharing new developments with the grassroots clubs and organisations within its membership.”
