ECB National Club Championship Final

Bexley (Kent) v Cuckney (Nottinghamshire) 

First held in 1969, the competition sees some of the best club sides from around England and Wales taking part in a competition limited to 256 clubs. 

Bexley are finalists once again at Lord’s in 2023 and are defending champions after a thrilling one-run win over Cheshire side Nantwich in last year’s final.  

Ben Aldred and Shaun Evans both made half-centuries as Bexley made 241 for 8 before Adam Ball’s 3 for 37 helped them seal a tight victory. 

They defeated Teddington in this year’s semi-final to book their spot at Lord’s against Cuckney, after the Nottinghamshire outfit triumphed against Richmondshire in the final four. Cuckney defeated previous finalists Nantwich at the quarter-final stage.
