National Village Championship

The 2011 National Village Championship is the 340th time that this unique UK community-based sporting event has been held. Organised by The Wisden Cricketer magazine, the competition promotes the heart of the game in the UK with this year's Championship attracting over 490 villages.
The 2011 Championship, which begins with a gentle game between two neighbouring villages in May, climaxes with a Final at the spiritual home of cricket, Lord's.

Last year, Bentley reached the quarter finals of the national stage, the furthest in our history. All games are played on a Sunday, usually every fortnight, with the first round in April and the final at Lord's in September. See Fixtures to see how Bentley CC are progressing.
