The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1895 when the creator of the ground, E H Ebsworth's XI played The Rev'd Owen Jones' XI.

The early years saw the ground being used by the Ebsworth XI, The Glamorgan Gypsies and Cowbridge Wanderers.

The Wanderers were given the opportunity to purchase the ground at a price significantly less than the original cost and construction.

The Wanderers were re-formed into The Cowbridge and District Athletic Club which remains the parent body to the sporting sections.

Glamorgan played Northamptonshire in a ground first first-class match in the 1931 County Championship.
