Unfortunately, we have had to Postpone this event. New date will be announced as soon as possible.

Cornwall FA is excited to share details of our face to face Groundskeeper Events in the East and West of the county in March 2024, with special guests attendance from our partners Vincent Tractors and Plant, plus Grounds Management Association and Origin Amenity Solutions. 

The power of the grass pitch is fundamental for a positive playing experience in grassroots football and has proven to be a key driver in the participation levels across the county. Groundskeepers across the county work tirelessly to maintain and develop playing surfaces throughout the season, especially when the winter months come into play. To support this integral role within Cornish football, Cornwall FA will be running these events to support clubs in attracting funding for both ongoing grass pitch maintenance works and machinery as well as highlighting support available for groundskeepers.
