Chris Plummer's Bashley ground claims SPCL gong again

Bashley's Chris Plummer

Head Groundsman Chris Plummer is a proud man after having his Bashley-Rydal cricket pitch chosen as the Southern Electric ECB Premier League's best ground for the second consecutive season.

Pictured with the George Winkles Memorial Trophy earlier this year, Plummer once again picked up the top pitch and ground votes from visiting clubs and umpires to the Bashley Cricket Ground this summer.

To put the icing on the cake, Plummer and his brother Geoff, who shares the groundwork, even bettered their 2001 season markings.

"We pride ourselves with the facilities we provide at Bashley and to win the grounds award for the second season running is a testament to the hard work we've put in over the years," Plummer beamed.

Bournemouth's Chapel Gate ground finished second in the Division 1 table, with Lymington's Sports Ground wicket being upgraded to Gold status in 2003.
