Foxes are off to Lord's (again!)

03 Aug 2025

Village Cup Semi-Final ✅

The #1STXI secured their place in this year’s Village Cup Final with a 110-run victory over Hampshire side Hambledon.

After losing the toss and being put in to bat in testing conditions, the Foxes slipped to 30-3. But a superb 110-run stand between Atkinson (50) and Pepper (86) steadied the innings and laid the platform for a competitive total of 226.

In response, Hambledon also struggled early, falling to 25-3 with Hill striking twice in his first two overs. From there, the wickets continued to tumble, with Clark (3/16), Hill (3/20), and Campbell (2/25) leading the charge. The innings was wrapped up in the 31st over, sealing the win for the Foxes.

The result sets up a return to Lord’s on Sunday 21st September, where the team will aim to become only the second side ever to retain the Village Cup title.

A big thank you to Hambledon for a well-contested semi-final, and to all the supporters who came down and cheered the teams on!
