Since the beginning of May, we've been supporting village cricket teams the length of Britain in the Yorkshire Tea Village Cup. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been quite so supportive. But we’re British – and a proper brew sipped through a stiff upper lip is all we need to get through this together.

So far, numerous washouts aside, it’s been a fantastic competition, with some really cracking games, and this last weekend was the Regional Finals. It all started with 300 teams from all over the UK. Due to ‘inclement’ weather, 64 teams are currently in the middle of batting and bowling it out with each other in their region’s Finals. It’s a big deal to village cricketers, as the two teams that face each other in the national final will do so at Lords – the home of cricket – on 9^th September.

Little Urn has been out and about getting to as many games as possible, serving Yorkshire Tea to people who really appreciate a proper brew. Cricket lovers really do love their tea - what better proof than the fact that cricket is the only game that actually stops for tea?

We’ve also been looking for the Best Cricket Tea of each round and we’ve seen some mightily impressive spreads. Everything from delicate sandwiches with their crusts cut off and flaky, meaty sausage rolls to wonderfully light sponge cakes and scrummy scones – all with lashings of Yorkshire Tea. Competing Yorkshire Tea Village Cup teams just tweet us a pic of their cricket tea and the most delicious looking one of each round wins a whole cricket season’s supply of Yorkshire Tea.

We’ve also been looking after Yorkshire and England cricketer Tim Bresnan and the rest of the England Team, by keeping them topped up with Graham Gooch’s favourite brew, Yorkshire Gold. It certainly seemed to help against the West Indies.

Little Urn, along with our friends at Barrington Sports (who provide lots of cricket fun, games and prizes) have been from Birmingham to East Sussex and Neston on the Wirral. Little Urn was also all set to hit Fort William Cricket Club (the wettest ground in Britain) with proper brews, but you guessed it, the match was rained off, as was last weekend’s North Yorkshire North Regional Final at Studley Royal Cricket Club.

The weather is just not playing cricket.

We’re hoping the Regional Finals that were rained off last weekend will be played this Sunday and Little Urn will be able to make it to Sessay who'll be hosting Studley Royal. On Sunday 1 July, Little Urn, the Brew Crew and Barrington Sports will be squeezing in at the smallest and possibly most picturesque cricket ground in the country at Tolethorpe Cricket Club in Rutland… weather permitting, of course.

So that’s where we’re at in our Summer of Cricket and there’s still plenty more action to come. You can see all the results so far and forthcoming fixtures here and you can also follow us on Twitter if you’d like the highlights. There’s also still time to win a custom made ‘Rolls Royce’ of cricket bats on our Facebook page – click here to enter.
