Voneus National Village Cup champions Foxton Granta drawn away Bucken in first round

Foxton Granta will begin the defence of their Voneus National Village Cup crown away from home.

The draw for the opening round of the competition has paired Foxton Granta with Bucken, who have entered the competition for the first time.

The champions will make the trip to the village situated between Huntingdon and St Neots on 27 April.

Involving 364 teams, across 32 regions, the 2025 edition of the competition will culminate at Lord’s on Sunday, 21 September.

The Home of Cricket was the scene for Foxton Granta’s record-breaking triumph last season when they beat former winners Dumbleton by seven wickets.

It was the first time that the final had featured two centuries – Charlie Garratt (119 not out, Dumbleton) and Richard Kaufman (110, Foxton Granta).

Also in today’s draw were Burwell & Exning, who have been handed a trip to Barney & Fulmodeston.
