History of Willowmoore Park Cricket Stadium
Willowmoore Park Cricket Stadium was founded by British coalminers and owes its name to the willow trees and the moor at the south end of the ground.

The first international match at this ground was played between a South African Invitation team and England in 1913.
The grandstand was subsequently erected in 1923 and the stadium was officially opened in 1924.
The floodlights were erected in 1943 and the first day-night match in the world was played here in 1962 between South Africa and Australia.
