On the 26th July the LCGA ran its latest grounds Course.
As part of training and development of groundsmen the LCGA ran an Intermediate course at YMCA cricket ground. Len Smith of the IOG conducted a well attended course in between preparing the wicket for the Senior Cup Final . A special welcome was given to our two Cork visitors.
A big thank you must go to David Streek and YM for facilitating the running of the course.
Based on discussions at the course and Lens field visits, many groundsmen will be taking some serious steps to improving club squares this autumn.
The plan is to run an Autumn renovation course before end of season. Put your name down with the LCGA if you are interested in attending this course.
Those who completed the Intermediate course are - Rob Kenealy Leinster CC, Guy Satchwell Leinster CC, Bryan McDermott Clontarf CC, Matt Reed Cork County CC, Angus Fleming Merrion CC, David Streek YMCA CC, Dale McDonough-Kinkade YMCA CC, Pat Mc Dwyer Rush CC, Joe O'Mahony Cork Harlequins CC, Ciaran Diviney Railway Union CC
