The Memorial Ground (also known as Finchampstead Park) is a cricket ground in Finchampstead, Berkshire, England. The ground is located at the northern end of the village and is part of a wider sporting complex.
Appearing on maps as early as 1930, Berkshire first played there against Buckinghamshire in the 1982 Minor Counties Championship.[1] List A cricket was first played at the ground in the 1988 NatWest Trophy when Berkshire played Yorkshire,[2] with their first-class opponents winning by 10 wickets. The ground was a venue for the 1993 Women's World Cup, hosting a single match between England Women and India Women,[3] which England won by 3 runs. A second List A match was played there the following year in the 1994 NatWest Trophy with Kent as the visitors.[2] With the exception of 1985, one Minor Counties Championship match was played there annually from Berkshire's first match there,[1] with the ground also hosting its first MCCA Knockout Trophy match in 1997 when Berkshire played Shropshire.[4] Two further List A matches were later played there, with Berkshire losing to Durham in the 2000 NatWest Trophy and defeating Ireland by 4 wickets.[2] Six further MCCA Knockout Trophy matches have been played there, the last of which came in 2006 between Berkshire and Devon,[4] while the arrangement of hosting one Minor Counties Championship match annually continues.[1]
Finchampstead Cricket Club use the ground as their home venue.[5] It also has football and hockey playing facilities, with Hellenic League members Finchampstead F.C. playing there.
