Hednesford Town Football Club Chairman Steve Price, Keys Park staff and everyone associated with the football club would like to say a huge thank you and good luck to groundsman David Bates as he prepares for transplant surgery next week.

The pitch has once again been in excellent condition at Keys Park and we look forward to welcoming David back to the ground once he has recovered from his upcoming surgery.

In the meantime his wife Val, and Phil Raybould will continue to prepare the pitch for matches.
