History
The ground was completed prior to the year 2003, with the first match held at the ground seeing Sint Maarten play a minor match against Anguilla.[1] The ground held its inaugural first-class fixture in February 2004 when the Leeward Islands played the Windward Islands in the 2003–04 Carib Beer Cup.[2] Five further first-class matches have been played at the ground, the last coming in the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition between the Leeward Islands and Barbados.[2] Nine first-class centuries have been scored here, with Ryan Hinds' 240 the highest score.[3] One List A match was played at the ground in the 2006–07 KFC Cup between the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands,[4] in a match which saw the Windward's Dennis George take a five wicket haul.[5] This remains the only List A match to be played at the ground.
In April 2014, the scoreboard at the ground was seriously damaged by fire, leading to its demolition. It was speculated that the fire was a deliberate act of arson.[6]
