History

Danescourt was established in 1890 as the homeground of Wolverhampton Cricket Club, which was founded in 1835.[1] Staffordshire first played minor counties cricket there in 1900, hosting Northumberland in the Minor Counties Championship. Staffordshire used Danecourt intermittently throughout the 20th-century, with the ground hosting 35 Minor Counties Championship matches up to 1995.[2] Danescourt was selected as one of the venues of the 1973 Women's World Cup, hosting a single Women's One Day International match between England Women and Trinidad and Tobago Women,[3] which England, captained by Rachael Heyhoe Flint, won by 8 wickets.[4]
