TigerTurf can be the continued platform for success at Hampstead and Westminster

Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club took their time choosing their new hockey surface - TigerTurf Challenger. They are confident that it has given them the edge over their rivals and are delighted they made the right choice.

The club runs seven ladies teams and twelve mens sides from their base at Paddington Recreation Ground in Maida Vale and have been utilising the leading surface for two years - since its successful installation.

And they have more good reason to celebrate their decision after the surface became only the second, 3rd generation surface to pass a Federation of International Hockey field test to underline TigerTurf’s status as market leader.

The state-of-the-art hockey facility is used by clubs and schools around the country and Hampstead and Westminster can compete against their rivals on an FIH certified field - following rigorous testing.

Challenger test results were even more impressive than in the laboratory, according to the FIH results. Its unique texturised fibres ensure smooth, non-directional ball roll that surpasses all criteria and expectation.

Passing the tests with ease, two years after it was installed, proves that Challenger will continue to perform everyday throughout its lifetime.

Osman Rankin, acting chairman of the club said: “We did a lot of research into selecting TigerTurf’s Challenger surface. Not once have we doubted that the correct decision was made. The subsequent stringent testing and FIH results further endorse our decision.”

“We are absolutely delighted with the surface and looking forward to getting our league season underway on it again. To know we have such a true surface for all our teams to play on builds confidence in our teams and player at all levels.”

Steve Hewitt, TigerTurf’s Sales and Marketing Director said: “We are delighted that our surface has produced such fantastic results in the FIH testing.”

“We have always known that our multi-use range is the strongest in the market and Challenger is further endorsement of that.”

“We take great pride in the Challenger surface after all the development work we have put into it over the years and we are sure that all players at the club will benefit from being able to play their competitive hockey matches on it in the future."
