A NATIONWIDE search is underway to find the worst football pitch in mainland Britain.
Engine company Briggs & Stratton has re-launched its Pitch to Win competition that offers a £3000 pitch makeover to the worst football playing surface in the UK.
The firm is calling upon all under-18 amateur footballers, both girls and boys, to nominate their pitch if they think that it is in drastic need of improvement.
The winning team will receive not only the new pitch but also sponsorship throughout the 2014/2015 season and a new team kit. Runners up will win a £500 boost for the club kitty as well as sponsorship and a new team kit.
First run in 2008, Briggs & Stratton has re-launched the competition to help support health initiatives and to get children active.
The Pitch to Win judging panel consists of experts including representatives from Briggs & Stratton, experienced groundsmen, and a selection of football journalists.

The deadline for the competition is Friday 28 March 2014.
