In recent years the ground has hosted 3 Australian domestic fixtures including pura cup games between NSW and W.A, NSW and Victoria, and an ING fixture against Tasmania. The highlight being a Dave Hussey double century to help Victoria chase down over 400 on the final day against NSW.
The final of the Newcastle District First Grade competition is played here annually, and is home to the lowly club Newcastle City.

Giles and Mahmood have expressed their interest however the clubs second grade side is full.
