 Anticipation is building across Bermuda as the two formidable Cup Match teams have been officially selected, setting the stage for one of the island's most iconic sporting spectacles. This year's clash will see five promising 'Colts' — new debutants — step onto the hallowed turf for the very first time, adding an extra layer of excitement to the traditional rivalry.
Cup holders Somerset Cricket Club will be led once again by the experienced Terryn Fray, who retains the captaincy, with Dominic Sabir stepping into the crucial role of vice-captain. The reigning champions have opted for three changes to their line-up, injecting fresh talent into their squad. Youngsters Zeri Tomlinson, Alex Dore, and Dalin Richardson have all earned their maiden call-ups, set to make their highly anticipated first appearances in the prestigious encounter. Their inclusion signals a blend of continuity and a forward-looking approach from the Somerset selectors.
Across the causeway, the challengers, St. George's Cricket Club, will be marshalled by Sinclair Smith, who takes the helm as captain. He will be ably supported by former captain Macai Simmons, who assumes the vice-captaincy, bringing a wealth of experience to the leadership group. St. George's have also opted to blood new talent, with two Colts earning their stripes for the big match. Luke Horan and Isiah O'Brien have been selected to make their Cup Match debuts, a moment they will undoubtedly cherish as they prepare to represent their club on the grandest stage.
With both teams now finalised and new faces set to emerge, the countdown to Cup Match has truly begun, promising another thrilling chapter in Bermuda's rich sporting history.
