Groundsman Luke Dodge of Manchester City FC was presented with the IOG Rigby Taylor/Top Green young groundsman of the year award at York Racecourse.
Based at Manchester City's Carrington training ground, Luke is currently studying for an online Foundation Degree in Turf Science – to add to the NVQ Sportsturf Levels 2 and 3 he already holds, plus PA1, 2 and 6 qualifications.
