Two further first-class matches were held there, one further in 1914 which saw Hawke's Bay play the touring Australians and in 1915 when Hawke's Bay played Canterbury in the 1914/15 Plunket Shield.^[2] In use throughout the remainder of the 20th century, Central Districts later played two List A matches there.^[3] The first of these came in the 1998/99 Shell Cup against Otago, while the second came in the 2000/01 Shell Cup against Auckland.
