Baldwin keeps fingers crossed
OXFORD United's Nick Baldwin (pictured) is keeping his fingers crossed that he will be short-listed for one of the divisional groundsman-of- the-year accolades after being visited by two awards judges this week.
Tottenham groundsman Darren Baldwin (no relation!) and West Ham's Dougie Johnson called in at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday to inspect the playing surface.
Stevenage and Oxford are believed to be the only two non-League clubs in the south that the inspectors have so far viewed.
The Kassam Stadium pitch has drawn praise throughout the season - a tribute both to Baldwin and his late predecessor, Dave Wedge.

Give credit where credit is due, we've always had a great playing surface thanks to the marvelous job done by the groundstaff, this would be a deserved award.
