Long Eaton Cricket Club, established in 1972, is an amateur cricket club based in West Park, Derbyshire, England. The Club is the product of a town which has a proud history of cricket dating back to the early 19th century. [1]
The club has been based on West Park since 1972. [2] The current pavilion, built in 1992, replaced the old Vida Cricket Club pavilion, with some funds from the club, local fundraising activities, donations from the Sports Council, and the Foundation for Sport and the Arts. [1] The Club has access to potentially three pitches, the main one is situated in front of the pavilion - between the park bandstand and the bowling green.
History of cricket in Long Eaton dates back to the early nineteenth century. The earliest known reference to a match by a Long Eaton team was recorded in the Nottingham Mercury, dated 5 July 1844. [1] The history of cricket in Long Eaton is very complicated. Many new teams sprang up from the new growing lace-making town in the 19th century, often using 'Long Eaton' in the team name. [1] However, over time, through club mergers and player migration, these clubs along with their histories would ultimately filter down into the club that we know today. For a full history of Long Eaton's cricketing past, read Keith Breakwell's book "The History of Cricket in Long Eaton, Sandiacre & Sawley".
The Club currently has 3 senior teams competing in the South Nottinghamshire Cricket League, [3] two Sunday league teams in the Newark Club Cricket Alliance league [4] and a long established and very successful junior training section that play competitive cricket in the Erewash Young Cricketers League.
