Name history
Rugby league history
All 5 recorded matches are early-round (Rounds 1-2) Challenge Cup ties for amateur club Skirlaugh, including fixtures against representative-type touring/services sides (Aberdeen, and a Royal Navy representative team). The venue's future is under active threat: it sits on land earmarked for a proposed GBP200m Yorkshire Energy Park redevelopment near Hedon/Preston, and the operating Eastside Community Sports Trust is campaigning for a new purpose-built facility because the current site's showers are non-functional, drainage is poor, and it cannot host disabled sport or concurrent adult/youth fixtures.
