Voneus Village Cup Final at Lord’s: Cricket, Community and Culture

On Sunday 21 September, the Voneus Village Cup returned to Lord’s with a story worthy of the Home of Cricket. Defending champions Foxton Granta were back on the big stage, facing Stayley, first-time finalists who only joined the competition in 2021. It is exactly why we love this tournament: village clubs, volunteers and whole communities pulling together for a day they will talk about for years.

A Path for the Final

Stayley’s run gathered pace with each round, capped by a composed win over last year’s runners up Dumbleton to book their first trip to Lord’s. Foxton Granta took the champion’s route, negotiating tough ties before ending Hambledon’s hopes to return as holders. The final brings together form and belief: Stayley arriving as fast rising contenders, Foxton Granta back as the benchmark. First ball 11:00 on 21 September at Lord’s.

Why the Village Cup matters to us

We back the Village Cup because it reflects what Voneus stands for: connection, community and opportunity. From clubhouses to church greens, cricket brings people together, the same way better broadband helps neighbours study, work, chat and cheer together. That spirit sits at the heart of our brand and the way we speak. We keep things bright, reassuring and positive, always inviting people to join the switch to better broadband.
