History

The Oval was established in 1940, with the foundation of the Carlton Club to cater for the lower-middle class White Barbadians. [2] Named for the Barbadian cricketer Desmond Haynes, for much of its history the Oval has exclusively hosted matches in club cricket. This change in 1996, when the Oval had been due to host Barbados and a touring Free State side in a List A one-day match in 1996, but the match was abandoned. In 2005, it was a venue for two matches in the 2005–06 KFC Cup between the Leeward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana and the Windward Islands. [3] With the Kensington Oval undergoing refurbishment to host matches in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Barbados had to play their home matches in 2006 at various outgrounds across Barbados. The Oval was chosen as one such venue, hosting two first-class matches against Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. [4] The following season, Barbados played two one-day matches there in the 2006–07 KFC Cup. In 2014, the Sagicor High Performance Centre played a one-day match at the Oval against a touring Bangladesh A side. [3]

As a football venue, the Oval is used by the Carlton Club's football section. [1]
