History East Preston Cricket Club (EPCC) was founded in 1860. In 1989 it was elected to the Sussex Invitation Cricket League and has experienced mixed success. The club's best performance to date was finishing 6th in the top division. In 1996 they were relegated to Division 2 but succeeded in gaining promotion back to Division 1 the following season. The club now plays in the newly extended West Sussex Invitation Cricket League. One of the most notable points in the club's history was their reluctance to permit people who lived or worked outside the village to become a member. This policy had little effect on their success however as they finished runners-up in the Sussex Championship League in 1981, won the Worthing & District KO in 1974, and finished runners-up in the same competition in 1975 and 1982. The second team also enjoyed good succ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin oriens 'east, sunrise' from orior 'to rise, to originate', Greek ανατολή anatolé 'east' from ἀνατέλλω 'to rise' and Hebrew מִזְרָח mizraḥ 'east' from זָרַח zaraḥ 'to rise, to shine'.
