Cricket Ground
The first recorded match on the school cricket ground came in 1928 when Stowe School played St Paul's School. Buckinghamshire played their first Minor Counties Championship match there in 1947, when it played Berkshire. Between 1947 to 1982, the ground held five Minor Counties Championship matches, the last of which saw Buckinghamshire play Bedfordshire. In addition, the ground has also hosted a single MCCA Knockout Trophy match which saw Buckinghamshire play Bedfordshire.
The ground has also held a single List A match for Northamptonshire in the 2005 totesport League, when Northamptonshire played Gloucestershire. The ground has also held fourteen Second XI fixtures for the Northamptonshire Second XI in the Second XI Championship and Second XI Trophy to date.

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
