February

Wet and cold again! Do try to keep fixtures played by chain harrowing and rolling or using the Quadraplay if needs be. Make sure that you do spike this month if you did not manage to do so last month. If you have had to roll the pitch over the last few weeks the surface will have become compacted so it could ideally do with a full aeration by a contractor or RFU Pitch Improvement Partnership. This makes a huge difference at this time of the year.
