V and I images of the nearby dIrr galaxies Sextans A and Sextans B were searched for star clusters. The candidates were selected, from a sample of non-stellar objects, on the basis of their morphology, their integrated colors and magnitudes. One of the candidates in Sextans A shows a few resolved stars whose location in the color-magnitude diagram indicates the cluster is at least older than 1 Gyr.
