Suffolk based football team Beccles Town FC have been congratulated on an ‘amazing achievement’, with the installation of a state-of-the-art full size 3G pitch at the club.<\/p>\n

Peterborough based Plant Fencing Contractors installed Zaun Super Rebound<\/a> sports fencing around the perimeter of the pitch and Spectator Rail<\/a> at pitch side. Super Rebound, forms an extremely robust perimeter around any pitch, that not only increases ball retention, but also vastly improved the gameplay experience.<\/p>\n

Zaun Super Rebound<\/a> sports fencing also includes EPDM inserts<\/a>, which reduces noise to the surrounding areas of balls hitting the fencing by roughly 29%.<\/p>\n

The new facility, which cost \u00a3770,000 and aided by a \u00a3598,000 grant fron the Football Foundation<\/a> was officially opened by former Norwich City midfielder Adrian Forbes. Forbes cut the ribbon at the 97m x 61m pitch at The Nest, the home ground of Anglian Combination Division One members Beccles Town FC.<\/p>\n

The install was completed and used primarily for the club’s under 16s and under 17 players. Beccles Town FC run four adult teams including a ladies’ team and 24 youth teams, which provide football<\/a> facilities for around 350 youngsters.<\/p>\n

Suffolk FA<\/a> Chief Executive Richard Neal \u201cThis is an amazing achievement for a club like Beccles Town to have a facility like this. <\/span>We hope it will not be only life-changing for the players involved in the club now but in the future and for the whole town.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor of Beccles Elfrede Brambley-Crawshaw said: \u201cIt is an amazing achievement to create these facilities<\/a> here in Beccles. I can\u2019t imagine the volunteer hours that went into ensuring the town has these facilities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/span>lub Chairman David Leech said: \u201cSome of you may know that recently I have questioned why we do what we do. I have only managed to find one answer \u2013 and that is family. Everyone at this club is part of our family, our community and our club<\/a>. We have all started as volunteers but we have all grown to be friends<\/a> and family. <\/span><\/em>The support that people have shown me personally tells me everything I need to know about<\/a> why we do it and why we love our town and our club.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
