I always love these pitch comments. A team practices 8 hours a week on natural grass and plays 1.5 hours match a week on turf, somehow they are a turf team! The only advantage here is that ASH has to travel. Truly not being controversial, but pitch according to a few players I spoke with DOES matter. Even if you play on turf once a week gives you an advantage of adjustment to the ball movement according to the four girls I asked. All of them say the ball moves extremely different on turf as opposed to grass and it usually takes a half to truly adjust if you are not accustomed to playing on it. Just their point of view and my curiosity after soooo many pitch comments on this blog. I agree. Playing on a surface you are used to is an advantage no matter which way. If a team regularly uses the same grass or turf pitch they know the way "the ball bounces". There is also the intangible comfort of playing on your home pitch. It may not be a huge advantage but there is some even if negligible . |
