 Here are some Cup Match Activities
Come to the game and enjoy the gambling at the Crown and Anchor tables, enjoy
local food from the many vendors, try a rum drink from one of many mixed drinks
or beer tents, meet the locals and make some new friends, oh and, of course,
check out the
Cricket match.
There are many cruises that take place over Cup Match, too.
Here is one: Call The Swizzle Inn
(1 441 293 1854) to ask about getting on their annual Booze Cruise. It always
takes place on the Thursday night of Cup Match and is one to remember.
Unfortunately, most people don't remember it the next day. :-( Last year's
price was $40 which is quite a bargain considering all you can drink of Swizzle,
beer, mixed drinks and all you can eat of many types of munchies.
Golfing getaway. With so many Bermudians relaxing for
the weekend, the golf courses are a bit easier to get into. Check out
Bermuda Golfing for more info
about golfing during Cup Match.
Cup Match in Bermuda
Bermuda celebrates
it's two-day public holiday to allow its residents to watch a game of cricket
between a team from the west end, Somerset, and a team from the east end, St.
George's. On Cup Match days, many natives (Bermudians) don't actually
go to the game but
choose instead to listen to it on the radio or watch it on TV (pay-per-view
anyone?).
You will find many residents camping and picnicking at the public (Government)
parks or beaches or both. The designated campgrounds are Ferry Point, Coney
Island and Chaplin Bay but all public parks and beaches (including the whole
length of Kindley Field Road from the Airport's entrance past Stonecrushers
Corner to the swinging bridge into St. George's) are liable to be invaded by
persons pitching tents from two days beforehand and until the Sunday evening
after Cup Match. It is an island tradition that sometimes disconcerts tourists
in search of a quiet area to enjoy the sun and sand. Buy hey, it is only one
weekend a year and besides
"Ay Bye, Cup Match is for
Bermudians!"
Even the most reserved let their hair down at Cup Match!
