One of the first cricket clubs to officially exist in the French provinces, Eymet Cricket Club (Club Eymetois de Cricket) was founded in 1983 by a group of "expats" who were seriously missing their favourite sport.

For the first season they played on coconut matting laid on the town's football pitch, but the following year the Mayor kindly offered use of our present ground at Eymet - complete with stand and all necessary facilities.

The club plays an average of twenty matches per season - South-west league games, national competitions, and against several overseas touring sides.

The club urgently needs new members, particularly players. All levels and ages are welcome. We have an active social side and a well-equipped ground. David Horlock on 05 53 24 11 40 (david.horlock@wanadoo.fr) or Clin Bond on 05 53 93 00 89 (clinbond@aliceadsl.fr)
