Matthew Arnold plays a pivotal role in the community and every staff member is friendly, professional and highly trained to lay on an unrivalled experience for local sports lovers. Cricketers itching for the World Cup to start later this month should check out the indoor nets and state-of-the-art bowling machine.

April’s award, which is determined by Playfinder users, is based on pitch quality, venue amenities and customer experience.

Jamie Foale, Co-Founder of Playfinder, commented: “Congratulations to Matthew Arnold Sports Centre for winning our April facility award. Sam and his staff make this fantastic sports facility a fixture in the local community where people can enjoy the many benefits physical activity provides. September will see a brand new 4G pitch installed which will make the venue even more attractive”.

Sam Pearce, Centre  Manager said: “It is a pleasure to receive Playfinder’s April Facility award and huge credit goes to the staff team for continually providing excellent service to compliment the great facilities we are lucky enough to have here.
