history
Since rising to the highest level of South African cricket in 1991, Easterns played mainly in the lower division. In the 1998/99 season the team rose, the team achieved the greatest success in 2002/03 when they won the Currie Cup. In the 2003/04 season, the provincial teams were merged and Easterns formed the Titans together with Northerns. So far, the Easterns have not been successful in the first-class and List A competitions of the now semi-professional provincial teams.
Stages
Today the home games are mainly played in Willowmoore Park in Benoni.
