Grainville Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Saint Saviour, Jersey.

History

The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1988 when Jersey played the Hampshire Second XI.[1] The ground has since been the venue of a number of international tournaments, including matches in the 2008 World Cricket League Division Five which was won by Afghanistan, and the 2010 European Cricket Championship Division One, which Jersey won.[1] The ground also hosted four matches for a combined Channel Islands team when it was permitted to take part in the English Minor counties MCCA Knockout Trophy competition in 2001 and 2002.[2]

The most notable matches held on the ground came in 2002 when the England women's cricket team played a Women's One Day International tri-series against New Zealand Women and India Women.[3] [4]
