FA Groundsman of the year awards

Nominations for the 2019 FA Groundsman of the Year awards are open!

Manchester FA want your help in recognising and rewarding the groundsman that support our clubs across the County.

This annual award is a fantastic opportunity for clubs and leagues to highlight the incredible work and dedication of their groundsperson. The award is for all groundsmen involved in supporting clubs at Step 7 & below.

The Groundsmen at these levels of football are nearly all volunteers who give up hours of their time to provide the best pitches possible using very few resources. This competition is a great way for these volunteers to get recognised on a local and national level.

All nominees shortlisted will be contacted to arrange a visit from our judging panel who will assess against the FA’s criteria. The top 3 applications will then be put forward as part of the FA’s National Awards (Step 7 & Below only).

If you would like to submit a nomination, please complete the appropriate form below and return to Rachael.Birchall@ManchesterFA.com. The deadline for applications is Sunday 17th February.

We look forward to receiving your nomination and would like to thank you all for your continued support of local football.
