Somerset must be smiling this morning….
As much as we’re all excited about Cup Match lets not forget the significance of the occasion. The Emancipation of Africans that were enslaved on August 1st 1835. Enjoy and be safe!!!!!!!!!!!
ST.GEORGE’S all the way all damn day!!! Bring home the cup where it rightfully belongs boys!! It’s only right x
Somerset will be making changes to their team next year!!!!! This was already predicted in many areas of Bermuda, you didn’t need no selection committee to figure this side out! “To the victors goes the spoils”! so in essence Somerset was saying , “thank you guys for last years victory”
Well balanced team St. Georges! good leadership Charlie M. it shows your selection committee but some thought in it.
LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!!!
I am a St Georges supporter but a little uncomfortable with their decision adding 4 colts. Lateef has had a good season, so comfortable with him. It appears Somerset may have the better team here. Will be interesting come Thursday and Friday.
I dont think the St.Georges Team will have the same casual non caring attitude that they had last year!
so it will most likely be a hard fought game. – this year the game is going down to the wire.
Somerset all day bring it on.
There’s a lot of young colts in St. George’s which brings a lot of fresh new energy to the field. As long as they approach this game with a mature mind set, work together as a single unit, recognize their position as the game progresses with a burning desire to WIN then… victory shall be on the horizon.
The Champions Somerset are stacked with good players but are missing in my opinion Bermuda’s best all-rounder who has the most runs this year (recurring year after year) and who has the 2nd most wickets in the premier division league.
It’s still an excellent selection Somerset…
To both teams I wish you the very best and let the best team win!!!
Lets go Somerset. St Georges lets see what your wicket is going to be like.
SOMERSET ALL DAY…ALL DE WAY. Good luck to both teams n may the best team win
somehow,, somerset still feel Jacolbi Robinson is a cricket player,, smdh,,
How is DeSilva NOT in the Somerset side?!?!?! WTF!
That don’t make NO SENSE!
SCC Watch out! Don’t chase that bie east!
BLUE AND BLUE ALL DAY! Hope you polished it good for us!
Unless wicket is vastly underprepared challengers will not be able to bowl champs out for under 600 (combined innings) thus thus the most probable result becomes a Somerset victory, with the next likely result being a draw.
N.B. For the many that appear to not know a draw IS a result. There are 4 possible results provided the match is not abandoned – win, loss, draw, tie
Always pick the side that has the most current Eastern Counties Champion players
My money is on Red and Blue!
Just give your money to me. Why waste it! I just love you somerset fans. St. George’s all the way. We have plans for you.hahaha
ST. GEORGE’S ALL THE WAY!!! I hope the colts are hungry enough to make sure the cup stays home! Oronde good luck to you and the team. I will miss Glen this year, but all the best to you and wishing you a speedy recovery.
BLUE & BLUE & BLUE & BLUE….
Go Somerset!! I smell a sweet Victory in St. George’s for Somerset! Looking forward to a good game n taking the cup back west! Have a happy n safe Cupmatch Bermuda!!
BLUE AND BLUE FOR LIFE!!
