Yorkshire CCC played 3 county championship games at the site including a Roses Match in 1868 and the touring Australians twice played there. The Roses Match the first first class game on the ground was remarkable in that Lancashire were bowled out for just 30 and 34 and lost the match by an innings and 186 runs one of the most comprehensive defeats in the long history of the fixture [2].
