Robert Cheape

As reported back in February Robert Cheape has won CricketScotland's Professional Groundsman of the Year Award for 2004.

The Award (sponsored by Rigby Taylor, Seed and Turf Specialists) will be presented to Robert on Monday, 31st May at the Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh when the Saltires play Yorkshire in the National League. Apart from the award itself Robert can choose a visit to a County Ground of his choice for a two day expenses paid visit to learn all there is to know about preparation of pitches for four day matches (I thought we already had part of the M1 at New Anniesland!)

If you have Sky TV you may well spot Robert in the coverage as the match is being televised.
