HISTORY OF WILLOWMOORE PARK
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. South African great Denis Lindsay graduated from WPCS.
Former England Batsman Dennis Compton scored a record 300 runs in 3 hours at this ground against a South African XI in 1948.
CURRENT STADIUM FACILITIES
The facilities at WMP were revamped for the ICC CWC 2003 and the new Media Centre was voted in the top 3 in the country by the press during the world cup. The Stadium boasts 7 additional fields with the capabilities of playing 7 junior matches on a Saturday and 4 senior matches on the weekend.
Willowmoore Park also boasts a second field with grandstand, dining hall and change rooms. The Academy buildings can accommodate 24 people and includes a lecture hall, dining room and additional change rooms which serve the ‘B’ field.
Practice facilities include 18 turf nets for the franchise teams, 12 practice nets for the amateur team, 4 astro nets and 8 turf nets for other representative teams as well as an indoor facility with 4 indoor nets.
In 2009 the EJCCA with the help of Afrisun and Carnival City constructed an additional 6 astro nets next to the ‘A’ field.
