In 1908, the ground held its second first-class match, which was between Warwickshire and Somerset. The third first-class match held on the ground came in 1909 between Warwickshire and Hampshire, with the final first-class match at the ground between Warwickshire and Sussex in 1910.[2]

Additionally, the ground held several Second XI Championship matches for the Warwickshire Second XI between 1950 and 2007.[3][4][5]
