The end of the Road to Lord’s...

Hambledon’s dream of a Lord’s Village Cup final were ended — for this year, at least — by a defeat to reigning champions Foxton Granta on Sunday.

Electing to bowl first, the Dons were in a very strong position at the halfway point of the first innings; but a spirited fightback from the home side left us chasing a daunting 227 to win, and the reply never gained the required momentum after the fall of early wickets.

Colngratulations to all those who have represented the Dons throughout the 2025 campaign, and a big thank you to the large contingent of travelling supporters who made the journey to Cambridge; here’s hoping for an even better run in 2026!
