At the other end of the field are a cricket pavilion for Ashurst C.C. and separate slightly tatty premises labelled Ashurst F.C. The field looks like a cricket field, with no sign of a football pitch laid out, odd for late September. The field is too small for a football pitch not to encroach on a wicket area. If once the field was shared, perhaps this roller was a heavy-duty way of obtaining some sort of wicket after a winter chewing up by football.
