It was congratulations all round as Mexted Sports Turf’s groundsmen were recognised in the 2024 Cricket Wellington Ground of the Year awards. Hutt Recreation Ground, which is lovingly managed by veteran groundsman Kevin Wakefield, was voted Ground of the Year by Wellington cricket captains, who score the pitches each week throughout the season. Kevin has 47 years as a groundsman in the Hutt Valley and Wainuiomata under his belt, and his passion and commitment have not only seen him create exceptional playing surfaces season after season, but he’s also passing on his knowledge to our younger groundsmen. Our Fraser Park, Petone Recreation Ground and Barton Oval groundsmen deserve an honourable mention, as they were also ranked in the top five Cricket Wellington venues this year. Congratulations to Ben Trethewey, John McKessar and Campbell Webster. |
