Banks Holding Sports and Cultural Club Ground

Banks Holdings Sports and Cultural Club Ground was a cricket ground in Bridgetown, Barbados.

History

The ground was established in 1964, when the Banks Sports and Cultural Club was founded for the workers of the Banks Brewery. Having hosted club cricket matches for most of its history, the ground played host to two List A one-day matches in the 2005–06 KFC Cup between Guyana and Jamaica, and Barbados and the Leeward Islands. Banks Sports and Cultural Club used the ground until 2013, with the adjoining brewery closing and moving to a new facility at Newton Terrace. With the closure of the brewery, the club was renamed Wildey Sports and Cultural Club and moved to a new ground at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology in Pine Hill.
