History

Located next to the Blairmont Estate sugar plantation, the ground was opened in 1959 and first played host to first-class cricket when Berbice played Demerara in the 1989–90 Kenneth Sookram Memorial Trophy. Guyana later played two first-class matches there in the 1992–93 Red Stripe Cup 1992-93 and 1992–93 Red Stripe Cup, playing against Trinidad and Tobago and the Leeward Islands respectively. [3] List A one-day cricket was first played there in February 1994, when Guyana played the Leeward Islands in the Geddes Grant Shield. Guyana played a further three one-day matches there in 1995 and 1996, before the ground played host to three neutral one-day matches in 2004 and 2007; one of these saw Barbados dismiss West Indies under-19s for 18 runs, the lowest total in the history of List A one-day cricket, with Pedro Collins taking figures of 7 for 11. [4] Guyana returned to the ground in 2008 and 2011, playing two further one-day matches there. [5]

As a football venue, the ground has played host to three international matches. The first of these came in 2004 and saw Guyana lose 3–1 to Grenada in a preliminary qualifying match for the 2006 World Cup. The next two came in 2008, with Guyana playing Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in a friendly, and Suriname and Dominica playing one another in a qualifying match for the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. [2]
