Draw date confirmed for 2025 Voneus Village Cup

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.

Fixtures for the 32 regional groups will be announced, with the draw for the national rounds to be confirmed. More than 350 clubs across England, Wales and Scotland have signed up so far for the 54th edition of the national knockout competition.

Defending champions Foxton Granta beat Dumbleton in September’s record-breaking final at Lord’s, and both sides will be among those hoping to make a visit to the Home of Cricket later this summer, on a date to be confirmed.

The first round of the competition is scheduled for Sunday 27 April (some groups may require a preliminary round on Sunday 13 April), with fortnightly matches continuing until Sunday 3 August.

Voneus CEO Christopher Traggio said: “We are delighted with the incredible response to this year’s Voneus Village Cup! It’s fantastic to see the passion and dedication that makes village cricket so special across the UK. Don’t forget if your club hasn’t entered yet there’s still time before the 1 February closing date – we’d love to have you join us on the road to Lord’s.”

Huw Turbervill, editor of The Cricketer, added: “September’s final was a fantastic occasion, featuring some brilliant cricket, and we can’t wait to see what this year’s tournament will bring. We wish all teams luck as they set out on the road to Lord’s in 2025.”

More information about the draw will be available soon.
