- Cup Match
- The 2-day Cricket match is a favourite Bermuda event, which is steeped in tradition and history reaching back to 1902 and originally organised by the Somerset and St. George’s lodges as their annual picnic to coincide with 1st August, Emancipation Day. As the event grew in popularity, it was transferred to the respective sporting clubs and became the centrepiece of the dual holiday we call Cup Match, which is always held on the Thursday and Friday closest to 1st August. This year it will be held on Thursday July 30th and Friday July 31st at the St.George's Cricket Club.
You will find delectable food, pulsating music, eyeboggling, fashions and good-natured revelry. Combine with copious amounts of liquid refreshment, plenty of nail-biting, tension and cheering masses of partisanspectators. Add liberal sprinklings of Bermudian hospitality and a dash of Crown and Anchor (optional). Bring this exotic mixture to a slow boil under a scorching mid-summer sun. That’s Cup Match.Two teams -Somerset and St. George’s - vie for the spoils in a game some describe as a gentleman’s sport. Today, with its carnival atmosphere and twenty-two of Bermuda’s best cricketers on
show, the perennial rivalry between Somerset and St. George’s cricket clubs has grown into an event not to be missed by residents and visitors alike.
