Abstract/Contents:Discusses the teamwork between the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) and the South African turf contractor Servest Turf during the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament. Explains that Servest Turf was initially skeptical on the Local Organizing Committee's appointment of STRI to oversee their progress, but that "when it came to installing and maintaining world-class football pitches, however, Servest Turf quickly realised [realized] that they needed expert input." Briefly details Servest Turf's installation and maintenance experience, and states that "STRI and Servest Turf also joined forces in developing specialised [specialized] brushes for dew rolling and 'combing' grass."
