History

The first recorded match held on the ground was in 1886, when Boughton Hall played Huyton. [1] Cheshire first used the ground in 1910 when they played Northumberland in the Minor Counties Championship. [2] Prior to and after World War I, Cheshire played a match annually at the ground, until World War II. Following the war Cheshire returned to the ground in 1951, however this would be their last match there until 1970. [2] In 1972, the ground was selected as a home venue for Minor Counties North in the 1972 Benson & Hedges Cup, where the team played a single List A match against Lancashire. [3] From 1970 to 1988, the ground held one Minor Counties Championship match annually. [2]

Cheshire played their first List A match at the venue in the first round of the 1988 NatWest Trophy, [3] which saw them record a famous victory against first-class opponents Northamptonshire. [4] However, Cheshire lost their second round match held at Boughton Hall against Derbyshire. The following season, Cheshire played a further List A match there against Hampshire in the 1989 NatWest Trophy, which ended in defeat. [3] Cheshire played their first MCCA Knockout Trophy match there in 1992 against Northumberland, [5] with Minor Counties Championship cricket returning there in 1993 when Dorset visited the ground. [2] List A cricket returned to the ground in the 1995 NatWest Trophy when Essex defeated Cheshire, while in the 1998 NatWest Trophy the same opponents visited, with Essex once again triumphing. [3] The ground was used infrequently by Cheshire in minor counties during the 1990s. [2] [5]

Cheshire's first match there in the 21st century came against Lincolnshire in a List A match in the 2000 NatWest Trophy, which Lincolnshire won. [3] The ground held its final List A match in first round of the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy when Cheshire played the Lancashire Cricket Board, with the match held in 2001 to avoid fixture congestion in 2002. [3] Cheshire won by 8 wickets. [6] Cheshire played a total of seven List A matches at the ground, winning two and losing five. Minor counties cricket returned in 2003, with Cheshire playing a single Minor Counties Championship match annually since then. [2] Three MCCA Knockout Trophy matches have been played there since 2007, all with Devon as the opposition. [5]
