1One of the Voneus Village Cup Club Legends will ring the famous Lord’s five-minute bell during the Voneus Village Cup final.

Throughout the summer, club heroes have been recognised for their for their selfless commitment to their Voneus Village Cup club and one will have the honour of following in the footsteps of some of cricket’s most historic names by ringing the bell to signify the start of play.

Five of the six legends named will be part of a vote on Twitter, and the person with the most votes will be invited to the Lord’s final on Sunday, September 19. Voting will open on Monday, August 23 on the Voneus Village Cup Twitter (@thecricketernvc) and will be open for one week.

John Wilkins from Goatacre is unavailable on the day of the final so will not be part of the vote, though his story will be celebrated.

Voters will be allowed one vote each on the poll, though they can show extra support and gain an additional vote if they simply follow Voneus Broadband (@voneusbroadband) and DM Voneus their choice.

The winner will be announced the following week.

This summer-long initiative has captured the spirit that exists within the village game and one dedicated club-person they will receive the opportunity of a lifetime. Ahead of voting, read all of the Voneus Club Legends’ stories below:
