How to get to the ground….
DCC's home ground is only one kilometre from the Damazan tourist office and only a little further from junction 6 on the A62.
- Take the D108 road towards Buzet. After one kilometre, turn right into the municipal camping site, and you'll find us alongside the lake in a very pretty setting.
- All games begin at 1 pm.
- Tea is usually taken around 4 pm and the result is usually known around 6:30.
If you want to see how cricket has adapted to the south-west of France - with bi-lingual scoreboard and all - do please come along, watch and have a chat (in English or in French!), have a cup of tea, maybe even buy a paperback or a raffle ticket.
And if you fancy a game, so much the better, call the Club Captain, Mike GEAR (see contacts below).
If you would like to come and play us - and it must be fun because most of our visitors come back time and time again ! - then please contact John Ayling, our Fixtures Secretary (see contacts below).
