Banks Holdings Sports and Cultural Club Ground was a cricket ground in Bridgetown, Barbados.
History
[edit]The ground was established in 1964, when the Banks Sports and Cultural Club was founded for the workers of the Banks Brewery.[1] Having hosted club cricket matches for most of its history, the ground played host to two List A one-day matches in the 2005–06 KFC Cup between Guyana and Jamaica, and Barbados and the Leeward Islands.[2] Banks Sports and Cultural Club used the ground until 2013, with the adjoining brewery closing and moving to a new facility at Newton Terrace.[3] With the closure of the brewery, the club was renamed Wildey Sports and Cultural Club and moved to a new ground at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology in Pine Hill.[4]
