Burnley FC have been awarded 2022/23 Grounds Team of the Season for the Championship by the EFL.
Grounds Teams throughout the EFL work tirelessly to make sure pitch surfaces are of a high quality through all weather and conditions, and the Grounds Teams of the Season awards celebrate staff who have produced the best quality playing surfaces in each division.
The Clarets have only suffered one league defeat on the Turf Moor pitch this season, and will be lifting the Sky Bet Championship title there on Monday 8th May in the final game of the campaign.
Watford and Stoke City were also highly commended in the Championship.
To inform the decision-making, pitch marks are provided by the referee and away team manager for all EFL League matches. The top Clubs from each division with the highest divisional average are then visited by Neil Rodger, from STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute), where further assessments are carried out, which cover pitch quality, environmental conditions and usage, resources, management and sustainability.
Once all Club visits have taken place, in-depth reports and recommendations are submitted to the Playing Surfaces Committee, at which point winners are determined.
The winners of each division will receive a trophy and certificate, while highly Commended Clubs will receive a certificate.
