1901 to 1972 Wolverton Town Cricket Club was formed in 1893. The first game was played on the 28th of April 1893 on a big field near The Gables. The club lost their pitch, which was called ‘The Big Field’, in 1899 as it was taken away from them for building purposes. The Club spent the following year playing all their games away and during this time managed to secure a new pitch at the current site in Osborne Street thanks to club president Mr C A Park, who was also Superintendent of the Railway works.
