replay the Camel Cup final, which was hit by rain on Sunday.

Officials from both Bailey's Bay and St. George's met with Bermuda Cricket Borad of Control members on Monday night when they agreed on a replay date of July 3.

Bay were restricted to 201-9 in their 50 overs on Sunday and St. George's had replied with 23-1 after 4.1 overs when rain sent the teams scurrying off.

Now Bay captain Charlie Marshall, who won three Camel Cup titles with St.

George's and two more with Bay, can't wait for the rematch between last season's most successful teams. Bay won the Overs League while St. George's took the Open League and Camel Cup.

"It was very unfortunate it was postponed on Sunday. I think it would have turned out to be an excellent game,'' said Marshall, the league's most in-form batsman in the early season with knocks of 72 and 28 in the league and 106 and 32 in the Camel Cup.

Marshall was surprised to learn that St. George's had reached the final after hearing that Stars were in the driver's seat in their Saturday semi-final. The way that the east enders pulled off victory let Marshall know what to expect of them in the final.

"Either team could have won, but once the rain came I was very concerned because when bad weather interferes with the match the team batting second has the upper hand,'' said Marshall.

The captain admitted there wasn't much between the two teams, with St.

George's still proving to be formidable despite the loss of key players before the start of the season. Bay have a couple of useful pick-ups in wicketkeeper Jason Anderson from St. George's and former Nationals bowler John Ray.

"In the early part of the season you read in the paper that they lost Lionel Cann and Clay Smith, but they still have a strong team,'' said Marshall.

Sunday's match marked the fourth time the teams had met in the final. St.

George's won in 1988 and Bay in '95 and '97. St. George's are in the final for the fifth straight year, having won a record four times while Bay have won three of the last five.
