White Post Road (also known as Banbury Cricket Club Ground) is a cricket ground in Bodicote, Oxfordshire.
History
[edit]Banbury Cricket Club originally played in Banbury at Grange Road,[n 1] but the Banbury Recreational Trust sold the ground to a housing developer. The Trust moved the cricket club to a new ground close by at White Post Road in the neighbouring village of Bodicote, with the new ground being ready for the 1996 season.[3] Oxfordshire first played minor counties cricket there against Dorset in the 1997 Minor Counties Championship.[4] Oxfordshire later played two List A one-day matches there against Herefordshire in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2002) and the Lancashire Cricket Board in the 1st round of the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2003).[5] As of 2024, Oxfordshire continues to play national counties (formerly minor counties) fixtures at the ground,[4] having also played NCCA Knockout Trophy and National Counties T20 matches there.
