Cricket
Cricket in France began in the second half of the nineteenth century, and started to become popular in the 1890s with a dozen or so teams. The Club has had an active Cricket section since 1893, when the first publicly recorded matches took place.

A word from the cricket section
It seems a good time to give a short cricket report after the difficult month of August and before the home straight of September. Thanks to a lot of hard work by Jon Riches we had some good fixtures and put out some pretty good teams in August. We had two matches against yet another Aussie touring side (one victory, one defeat) which proves again our international appeal. One of the most encouraging signs has been the arrival of some new members and the return of at least one former member, but best of all was the fact that two teenagers, Nicholas Christofferson and Jack Sweeney turned out for us in the match against Franciliens and both played some excellent cricket. If we can keep this youngsters on board, and Andy Macintyre keeps up his terrific work with the kids the future looks bright for SAC cricket section.
