With the start of the new season we’re seeing a lot of good football being played on the new artificial turf surfaces that have been installed over the off-season. The surer footing has meant that the game is faster and the changes of direction are bordering on sublime.
It doesn’t matter whether its football at the top level or simply the local high school, when they play on artificial turf there is a noticeable difference in the confidence of the athletes running on it. No risk of potholes and the comfort of knowing that when they change direction there will be no shifting turf to put them on their backsides.
Here’s to another season of good hard football and the speed of the game which is as quick as ever will continue to provide an even and fair contest.
