Rangers To PHC: You’re Tenants, We’ll Be Back
During the prize-giving, the President of six time BELCO Cup winners Southampton Rangers sent a message to the 2010 winners PHC; letting them know they have to pay rent as they are tenants, and that Rangers will be back to collect the Cup later on.
The comment by President Randy Raynor was met with laughter, and PHC’s Kyle Lightbourne then went up to collect the Cup, along with a $1,500 check.

Vice President of the Bermuda Cricket Board [BCB], Allen Richardson, jokingly said that “we saw a miracle” when PHC beat Rangers, and thanked Belco, the umpires and many more for supporting the event.
Belco Executive Vice President, Andrew Parsons congratulated Pembroke Hamilton Club [PHC] for their victorious win over six time Belco Cup winners Southampton Rangers, saying it was one of the most exciting games he has seen in a while, and went on to commend the sportsmanship and quality batting and bowling.
Mr Parsons also noted his pleasure that Kevin Tucker was able to showcase his talent at the Belco Cup, and was later picked for the national squad for the ICC Americas.

Belco, BCB and St. David’s County Cricket Club, who traditionally host the Final, jointly agreed that the charity “No Child Goes Without” should benefit from proceeds of the Final once again.
“No Child Goes Without” was the recipient of the $5.00 admission fees to the final, as well as the sale of $10 children’s BELCO Cup T-shirts. In addition, the Umpires generously contributed their fees for both days to the charity.
As a result, BCB presented a cheque for $3,630 to “No Child Goes Without”. As Cup sponsor, BELCO also presented a cheque for $3,000 to the Bermuda Cricket Board.
Sudell Joseph of “No Child Goes Without” spoke of the organizations gratitude for the support, saying that the Belco Cup is their largest supporter. She stated that the funds provided have enabled the group to continue to provide free lunches, uniforms and more.
