Ground facts
| Opened | 6 June 1859 (school founding date; no separate opening date is documented for the sports ground itself) (A genuine, unresolved venue discrepancy for the first of the two recorded matches: Rugby League Project and a pre-match news report both name CMS Grammar School as the venue for Nigeria's 3 November 2023 women's win over Ghana, but Wikipedia, citing European Rugby League's own fixture records, names a different venue, Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, for the same match -- confirmed via direct re-verification of European Rugby League's own fixture page, which stated Teslim Balogun Stadium. This is disclosed as an unresolved conflict between sources rather than picked either way. The second match's venue (5 November 2023) is not disputed.) |
