GOALS Bradford, which has just celebrated its tenth anniversary, have six new state-of-the-art synthetic grass five-a-side pitches.

Part of an £8 million national investment package covering over 150 new pitches, the ProTurf Arena, which is exclusive to GOALS and has superior shock absorption, thereby reducing injuries, is said to be the closest thing you can get to grass.

Former Hanson pupil Marcus Strudwick, who is general manager at GOALS Bradford, said: "The feedback from our players has been fantastic, and everyone is very excited about the ProTurf Arenas.

"The investment is very timely as we have just celebrated our ten-year anniversary, which we celebrated with many people and groups from the local community."
