Oval Reserve

About Oval Reserve The main recreational use of the Oval is cricket in summer and rugby in winter. The Oval is also used for touch rugby training and competition. There are sports clubrooms on the boundary of the reserve and Anzac Street. They are Pirates, High School Old Boys and OBM rugby clubs. History Council took over ownership and management of the Oval in 1968 from the rugby union, giving them a 28-year rent free lease. Prior to this and until the development of Rugby Park and Harry Barker Reserve, the Oval was the premier venue in the Gisborne area for all major rugby and cricket matches.
