Name history
Rugby league history
4 of the 5 recorded matches are early-round Challenge Cup ties involving Milford itself; one (4 Feb 2012, Leeds Met Uni 15 def Ovenden 14) was a Challenge Cup tie between two other teams, with the ground evidently used as a neutral/hired venue rather than a Milford fixture. No finals or internationals. The venue is a multi-facility community sports club (also including a 20-station health and fitness suite built in 2002) rather than a dedicated rugby stadium, with a 20-space car park and disabled access; no evidence of closure or major redevelopment.
