History
Banbury Cricket Club originally played in Banbury at Grange Road, but the Banbury Recreational Trust sold the ground to a housing developer. The Trust moved the cricket club to a new ground close by at White Post Road in the neighbouring village of Bodicote, with the new ground being ready for the 1996 season. Oxfordshire first played minor counties cricket there against Dorset in the 1997 Minor Counties Championship. Oxfordshire later played two List A one-day matches there against Herefordshire in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy and the Lancashire Cricket Board in the 1st round of the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy. As of, Oxfordshire continues to play national counties fixtures at the ground, having also played NCCA Knockout Trophy and National Counties T20 matches there.Records
