Protecting pitches from the elements

Supplier: JMS Cricket
More JMS Cricket details

Keighley company JMS Cricket has created a system called “The Pitch Protector” to beat the elements and ensure that football and rugby matches take place.

Adapted from a system used by The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Yankees in the USA, JMS have refined a way of covering the entire pitch from downpours that is claimed to be quick and easy, both to install and remove as well as requiring the minimum of manpower to do it.

The 250ft by 40ft covers are brought into the stadium on specially designed trolleys and positioned around the ground. An inflatable ‘sausage’ is then primed and the covers are rolled into position on the pitch itself. Once in position, the covers can be deployed in a little as 30 minutes.

125ft long foam waterbooms are placed under the covers to control the flow of water off the covers and at Headingley (pictured), nine covers were used to cover the main pitch with additional smaller covers in the dead ball areas.

When the bad weather has passed, the covers are rolled back up on their ‘sausages’. The water on the sheets disperses as they are rolled back to the edge of the pitch. The ‘sausage’ is then deflated, the cover rolled up, put back on the trolley and taken out of the stadium.

As an added benefit, the system is also said to protect the pitch against frost down to temperatures of about -4°C.
