Grounds Care for Radcliffe Cricket Club

About Radcliffe Cricket Club

Radcliffe Cricket Club has a well-established ground that sits alongside the River Irwell, and while the riverside location offers a picturesque setting, it also means the ground can be slow to dry after wet spells. Reliable mowing equipment is critical for managing damp conditions, and the club benefits from having machinery professionally serviced ahead of each season.

Radcliffe Cricket Club's riverside position alongside the Irwell creates a picturesque but demanding maintenance environment. The proximity to the river means the water table is high, and the ground can be slow to dry after wet spells, sometimes taking days longer than hilltop sites to become workable. This places considerable strain on mowing equipment, which must regularly cut through damp grass that clogs mechanisms and dulls blades faster. The loam square has been developed to cope with these conditions, but relies on machinery that performs reliably in moisture-heavy environments. At twelve miles from PGT Repairs, the club schedules pre-season servicing early to ensure equipment is ready for the unpredictable spring drying window.
