UMPIRES' GROUND MARKS

We continue our in-depth look at this week's Lincs League AGM by considering the ground markings awarded by the umpires.
Officials from the Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe panels are asked to award a combined mark on the scoresheet at each match - premier division down to division four - looking only at the playing area (inside the boundary), and not considering changing rooms, scoreboards, sightscreens, tea facilities, etc, which form part of the official league ground inspection procedure.
Andy Sharp, the Lincs League statistician, has transformed all this information into useful at-a-glance tables, print-offs being given to all club delegates attending the meeting at Market Rasen on Wednesday.
