The Club


"The LACC came into being in 1889. A cricket club existed for around 20 years before this however. The first AGM was held on April 28 1889.

 

The club got the current 'Woofords Park' in 1953 - where they play to this day. In 1959 the LACC organized the first annual carnival, making a profit of £79.45 that year.

 

Centenary


1989 was the clubs centenary year. Glamorgan CC XI team played Laugharne. Two of the players were Tony Cottey and Robert Croft - both are internationally known today.

 

David Hemp - Captain of Glamorgan played as well, though somebody spelled his name 'Help'.

 

Today


The Cricket Club no longer runs the carnival after 46 years, it has become the responsibility of the Rugby Club.

 

The ground of Wooford Park has been given to the Laugharne Athletic Club through an agreement with the community so the cricket and rugby clubs will have somewhere to play for years to come!

 

Now part of the Gwili-Taf Midweek League - the LACC has just finished a successful season seeing a fair few wins amongst local contenders".
