Sawley Cricket Club

[1] The home ground is located on West Park, Long Eaton, Derbyshire and has access to three pitches.

In 1971, Sawley CC joined the Derbyshire Border League and continued to strive to improve playing standards and win trophies.

[2] One of Sawley's most successful decades in recent times was during the 1990s, when the club won many cup titles and ultimately became Derbyshire County Cricket League Champions in 1997.

Sawley & Long Eaton Park CC, as it became known, was one of only two clubs in the Derbyshire County Cricket League to field five senior XI teams.

In the early 1980s, the building of the Graham Draycott pavilion on West Park caused constitutional problems with the Church connection.

The club was renamed Long Eaton Park CC to allow the establishment of a bar and to play Sunday cricket.
