I think that the BEST Bermuda Holiday has GOT to be Cupmatch. 2 Full days of cricket, where the island is split down the middle between a friendly match of two ends of our small little country. This year, the game was a step up from its past few years of barely excitable plays. This year was golden. and it was almost a win for either side. But alas, the game ends in a draw again. ha ha. either way, this was a game that kept me on the edge of my seat, had my fingers crossed and all hoping that my team would pull through and get those last 50 runs in 30 mins. No dice though. But all is not lost. we experienced some classic moments. watching a team captain hit a century for the first time, watching a cupmatch veteran retire, and watching the simple act of camaraderie, take part for yet another year. and Amidst the crowds riddled with the teams colors, of blue and navy blue, and blue and red..there was that feeling you get, where everything is perfect. even if just for a moment.
