The #1STXI made history on Sunday as they retained the Village Cup with a record breaking 145-run win against Stayley at the home of cricket.

Kaufman (122) led the charge, with his second Lord’s century, well supported by Atkinson (51) and Pepper (44*) as the Foxes posted a commanding 265-4.

In reply, the bowlers got to work quickly, taking wickets at regular intervals. Beer and Campbell dismissing both openers before the spin of Hill, Mahendra and Clark did the business. Stayley were reduced to 81-9, and despite some late order resistance Campbell finished off the job, taking the final wicket to wrap up the innings for 120 and bring the trophy home to Foxton.

There are too many people to thank who have supported the team in their title defence this season, but a special mention must go to all the travelling supporters who got behind the team every ball.
