It’s a six! total-play launches three new ECB approved non-turf pitch systems

With the ECB's official approval of another three new non-turf cricket pitch system designs, taking the total to SIX, total-play Ltd offers unrivalled choice when it comes to surfaces for match play and practice facilities.

Kings Heath CC opted for the new NPC carpet with a blue border and run-up to increase contrast for youth and Visually Impaired users

The three new 'NPC' - or 'natural pitch colour' - systems offer state-of-the-art performance with a more traditional look that mimics a natural cricket pitch in peak season. The 'straw' or beige-coloured carpets are now available on all of total-play's base designs, adding three new ECB approved systems to the stable: tp365 NPC; tpb1 NPC and tp5t NPC.

All are designed to offer performance that mimics a high performance natural pitch with pace and bounce to promote every aspect of the modern game.

The systems feature variations in base construction and carpet type to suit varying site conditions and client requirements. The flagship tp365 NPC features a dynamic aggregate base system topped with total-play's exclusive shock pads and a premium quality Wilton Woven carpet in the natural colourway.

Right: The NCP colourway mimics the 'straw' colour of a natural cricket pitch and is ideal for projects where aesthetics are a concern - such as near listed buildings of within historic or rural settings

tp5t NPC offers the same base construction but with a tufted as opposed to woven carpet, offering a great solution for clubs on a budget, while 'tpB1 NPC' offers an engineered base (tarmac) - ideal for clubs where flooding could be an issue and minimum maintenance is high priority - with the same premium quality woven carpet as 'tp365'.

MD David Bates says: "Now we with have six ECB approved system designs we offer an unmatched choice in non-turf cricket practise facilities. Adding new carpet colours to our existing range, simply gives our clients a more choice than ever before. Dependant on site conditions, maintenance goals and the required performance, total-play can now truly design a system bespoke to any client. Not all projects are the same - allow us to show you why."
