Ground facts

Both recorded matches were independently re-verified via direct WebFetch of Rugby League Project's own results page, which confirms Brentwood as the home side in both, resolving an initial concern that the second match (a heavy home loss to Wath Brow Hornets, a Cumbrian club) might have actually been an away fixture.) |

Rugby league history
Ashwells Road is the home ground of Old Brentwoods Club, a long-established Essex rugby union and cricket club founded in 1967. It only entered rugby league history in 2023, when the locally-grown Brentwood Eels -- a club that started as a junior side in 2004 before adding a senior team in 2013 -- made their Challenge Cup debut there, beating Bedford Tigers 34-24 before a heavy 4-58 home loss to Wath Brow Hornets.
