Before last night's pre-season friendly against FC United Trafford's Football Secretary & Groundsman
Graham Foxall was presented with his Northern Premier League FA Groundsman of the Year Award 2010-11.
The presentation was made by Ray Vaughan a Director of the Manchester County FA,
Frank Hannah President of the Manchester County FA & Alan Allcock League Operations Manager of the Evo-Stik NPL.
Graham has been in the running for the award in the last few seasons & has now finally taken the top award.
Throughout the season visiting clubs comment on how good the Shawe View pitch looks right up until the
final game when there was no bare patches on the pitch including the goal area.
So on behalf of the Trafford FC Committee & all our followers may I sincerely congratulate Graham on this well deserved award.
