Top Marks

Morton groundsman Mark Farrell has received a prestigious award for his work on the playing surface at Cappielow.

Mark (pictured, left) was voted 2009 Institute of Groundsmanship Scottish Football Groundsman of the Year for Irn-Bru League 1. The award is based on the pitch reports of visiting referees and the resources and equipment available to the ground staff.

Since Mark joined the club there has been a marked improvement in the playing surface at Cappielow. The pitch is absolutely fantastic all year round and this is demonstrated by the fact we hardly have any matches postponed anymore. Well done, Mark!
