Overview

The early years saw the ground being used by the Ebsworth XI, The Glamorgan Gypsies and Cowbridge Wanderers. The Wanderers were given the opportunity to purchase the ground at a price significantly less than the original cost and construction. The Wanderers were re-formed into The Cowbridge and District Athletic Club which remains the parent body to the sporting sections. Glamorgan played Northamptonshire in a ground first first-class match in the 1931 County Championship. In 1931 and 1932, the ground played host to four first-class matches, two each season, the last of which saw Glamorgan play Somerset.[1]

In local domestic cricket, the ground is the home venue of Cowbridge Cricket Club.[2]
