The Police Sports Club Ground (also known as Weymouth Playing Field) is a cricket ground in Bridgetown, Barbados.
History[edit]
Plans were made to establish cricket fields at Weymouth in 1941,[1] with them being completed by 1944.[2] The ground has been used by the Police Sports Club, which is affiliated to the Barbados Police Service. Two List A one-day matches were held there in the 2005–06 KFC Cup between Guyana and Jamaica, and Barbados and the Leeward Islands.[3] One first-class cricket match has been played at the ground, with Barbados playing Trinidad and Tobago in the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition,[4] which was drawn. Performances of note in the match included a century (113) by Barbadian Dale Richards, and a five wicket haul (5 for 40) by Trinidadian Sherwin Ganga.[5]
