I just wish people would remember the meaning of cup match, we have seem to have lost the reason it came to this. Too commercial now.And I’ m a little disturb by Clay Smith saying that it should be 3 day Remember the reason how this all started I will talk to you on Saturday SOMERSET!!!
Well done Cory you led your team as a Captain should. I was very impressed by the players we have some promising young ones. Cory Auntie was excited and very proud actually in awe.
What really bothered me is that we are so ready to report bad news of young men here are children doing something positive and where is the reporting… thanks Bernews
Well done to both teams and especially my Godson,Cory. You did a great job as captain of the Somersert team and I hear that you were awarded the MVP. (Godma Tanya, St. Georges fan).
These young guys represented their teams well, good job!
