A single first-class match was held there when the North played the South in the North v South match of 1866, The match ended in a draw, despite the South's Edgar Willsher taking 6 for 71 in the North's first-innings. By 1867, cricket had ceased to be played at the ground, with an advertisement appearing in the Rochdale Observer encouraging people to buy shares in a proposed bowling green that was to replace the ground.
