Extensive Developments at Liverpool Hope Now Include GreenFields Hockey Pitch

Liverpool Hope University have added another string to their bow as part of their ongoing campus developments with a state-of-the-art GreenFields hockey pitch.

Selecting GreenFields from the tender process and with a short construction and installation window, the university opted for an elite hockey surface which was also the Official Playing Surface of the 2014 Hockey World Cup.

Their completed GreenFields pitch has been designed for fast playing, modern hockey and the sports turf itself- TX SW has been tested and utilised extensively by a number of clubs playing at the highest level around the world.

“Investment in our sports facilities is part of our long term commitment to sports science and the health and wellbeing of our students. We wanted to choose the best pitches we could as part of this commitment. We have already had some good feedback from teams that have played on the surface.”

James Ellison, Director of Estates, Liverpool Hope University

Colin Lyons, Technical Sales Manager for GreenFields UK commented on the new addition to the university’s campus: “We are pleased that Liverpool Hope selected us for this project. Their students will be able to experience a high-spec, professional hockey surface which will provide players with total control, identical ball roll in all directions and great ball accuracy.”
