Gorse Lane is a cricket ground in Grantham, Lincolnshire. It was constructed from scratch when the London Road ground was sold to Safeway. Opened for junior cricket in 1991, the club began using the field a year later.[1] Lincolnshire first played at the ground in the 1994 MCCA Knockout Trophy against Northumberland. To date the ground has held 5 MCCA Knockout Trophy matches.[2] In 1996 they played their first Minor Counties Championship match at the ground against Cumberland. From 1996 to present, the ground has hosted 20 Minor Counties Championship matches.[3]

The ground has also held a single List-A match in the 2000 NatWest Trophy, which saw Lincolnshire play the Netherlands,[4] a match which Lincolnshire won by 95 runs.[5]

Gorse Lane is the home ground of Grantham Cricket Club.
