The Groundsman of the Year Award is made annually by Cornwall FA for the groundsman who is judged to have done the most to provide the best possible pitch for their club through their dedicated voluntary work. Groundsmen battle throughout the season with the weather each year to ensure training and fixtures get played. The work of this unsung hero, the groundsman, keeps football going across the county week in, week out year after year.
