In 1983, the ground hosted what is the only first-class match to be played there when Ireland played Scotland,[1] which resulted in an Irish victory by 5 wickets.[2] In 1990, the ground hosted its first List A match when Ireland played Sussex in the NatWest Trophy. The ground hosted a further List A match in the 1997 Benson & Hedges Cup between Ireland and Essex, before hosting two List A matches in the 2005 ICC Trophy.[3] The first of these saw the UAE play the United States, which resulted in a 55 run victory for the UAE.[4] The second match saw Canada play Papua New Guinea, which resulted in a Canadian victory by 160 runs.[5]
