Warrington Cricket Club’s Bank Hall ground was chosen to host the inaugural game of Lancashire Cricket Club - which took place on 15-16 June 1864  - due to the town’s central location. The oldest cricket club in Cheshire, Birkenhead Park, who had previously played against the MCC at Lords and Surrey at the Oval, joined forces with the Gentlemen of Cheshire to oppose Lancashire in the match.

The game ended in a draw with Lancashire scoring 169 and 78 in their two innings, while their opponents scored 143 in their first innings and were on the verge of victory being just 15 runs short of their target when play drew to a close.
