There are just three weeks to go until the Voneus Village Cup final – and your last chance to see red-ball cricket at Lord's in 2024.

With 2022 winners Dumbleton facing 2015 finalists Foxton Granta, it's sure to be a cracker of a game on what is always a fantastic occasion.

It's a great family day out at Lord's too, with tickets (available here) just £20 for adults and £5 for concessions.

In addition to a thrilling final, spectators will have the opportunity to stroll on the hallowed outfield during the break in play.

The historic ground, in the heart of London, will also host a village fete and tours will also be available.

Gloucestershire's Dumbleton overcame Lancashire club Woodhouses in the semi-final of the tournament, which has been run annually by The Cricketer since 1972.

Cambridgeshire's Foxton Granta earned their place in the final by beating Cornish club Grampound Road.

The tournament began back in the spring, with around 350 clubs entering from across England, Scotland and Wales.

Dumbleton skipper Ross Martin said: "We love this competition.

"It really brings in the whole of the club, including all of the spectators, the bench committee, all of the players.

"We really buy into the competition. It's been fantastic for us and and provided brilliant opportunities for us in the last three years."

Foxton Granta captain Lewys Hill added: "To win the Village Cup would be incredible. I think for most kids growing up playing cricket, they dream about playing at Lord's.

"But to win at Lord's in a final would be something very special, so I know that we're all looking forward to being there.

"If we can get the win for the players, the families, the supporters, the committee and the village as a whole would be very, very special."
