Catch him! Fans will have the opportunity to get involved with this year's Cup Match Classic Safe Hands award, as a new wrinkle has been added.

But before you think about searching for that cricket ball long ago buried and left for dead, relax, as the only object needed to keep a firm grasp of will be the entrance ticket stub.

The stub will bring the prize of a pair of round trip tickets to the person whose name is drawn by Transport Minister Ewart Brown at tea on the second day.

Additionally, the winner will receive five free passes for Bermuda's ferry and bus service for the period of a year.

"In honour of the 100th annual event we've come up with a new feature, which I think is very exciting,'' said Rolfe Commissiong, who, as president of Black Star Communications, initiated the award four years ago. "The Cup Match Classic Safe Hands Award Draw is an attempt on our part to give something back to the fans, who have loyally, generation after generation, supported the Classic, as we think that it is only time that they be afforded an opportunity to participate in some of these activities.

"As you know we have new ferries coming here and they're trying to encourage Bermudians to look for alternative means of transportation rather than reliance on the cars.''

Commissiong was also excited about this year's player award as well, considering it is being celebrated as the centennial event. As usual, a select panel of judges will make the decision on the best fielder over the course of the two days, the winner to receive a trophy, two round trip tickets to any gateway city and two Logic phone cards with a collective value of $100.

"I think it is especially significant this year because of the fact that it is the 100th annual event,'' said Commissiong. "My only regret is that I'm a big St. George's fan, and to date not one St. George's player has won it.''

Janeiro Tucker (1998), Curtis Jackson (1999), and Dexter Basden are the previous winners.
