Draw date confirmed for 2025 Voneus Village Cup
The date of the 2025 Voneus Village Cup final has been confirmed as Sunday 21 September.
The 54th edition of the historic fixture will take place, as always, at Lord’s, where two village cricket clubs will get the opportunity of a lifetime to play at the Home of Cricket.
This year’s game will be the last final of 2025 to be held at a major English cricket ground, offering cricket romantics a final chance to savour the joy of tow teams in whites playing red-ball cricket for silverware before the summer’s end.
The record-breaking 2024 final saw two batters make centuries for the first time in the match’s 53-year history, with Cambridgeshire’s Foxton Granta triumphing over Gloucestershire’s Dumbleton.
The tournament has been organised by The Cricketer since its inception in 1972 and is supported by headline sponsor Voneus.
Christopher Traggio, CEO of Voneus, said: “Be sure to catch the Voneus Village Cup final this year at Lord’s, the culmination of a fantastic tournament that truly celebrates traditional cricket.
“In case you missed last year’s final between Foxton Granta and Dumbleton – it was exciting all the way through, and even broke scoring records. Whose turn will it be this year?”
The draw for the 2025 Voneus Village Cup, the most prestigious competition in grass roots cricket, will be held on Friday 21 February. The event will be live-streamed from the Committee Room at Lord’s via The Cricketer’s YouTube channel.
