Aviva Stadium 'Pitch of the Year' Award 2011 Presentation
- 06 January 2012
Turners Cross and their grounds staff were awarded the 2011 'Pitch of the year award' by the FAI and the Irish Institute of Sports Surfaces. This took place at halftime of the FAI Cup final at the Aviva Stadium.
The Institute researched the condition of each of the top three grounds Tallaght Stadium, Sligo Rovers showgrounds and Turners Cross Cork City. Each pitch was measured on industry performance quality standards. These standards are objective assessments. On this occasion Turners Cross achieved the most awarded points on the condition of their pitch. It is important that all pitch maintenance plans are geared towards improving the structural standards of the playing surface, creating a more wear tolerant playing surface and most importantly to improve player safety.
