Following a consultation period lead by fellow SAPCA members, Surfacing Standards, Hunts Contractors secured the coveted double-pitch contract. This comprehensive undertaking involved earthworks, sewer diversions, retaining walls, floodlighting, fencing, and even a car park with convenient path access.
But what truly sets these pitches apart? TigerTurf’s Evo Pro—the UK’s number choice for hockey. Handpicked by Sedbergh’s Head of Hockey, this cutting-edge surface boasts a storied legacy of excellence. Having previous experience using this surface, the school felt choosing a proven sand dressed carpet would work well with what they were looking to achieve.
Today, Sedbergh School fully utilises their state-of-the-art fields with a full schedule of group hockey training and personalized coaching sessions. Additionally, the school has continued to support the local community by opening the fields for local sports teams to use.
