Twice when given this unwelcome tag they have rallied and made a joke of the term by demolishing their heavily favoured opponents in grand style.

They did it in this year's Central Counties Cup cricket final when they scored a surprising 29-run victory over powerful Western Stars at St. John's field on June 29 and then added to this triumph with a stunning four-run victory over a formidable Bailey's Bay team in the BF&M Insurance Cup Champion of Champions semi-final on Sunday.

After dismantling Bay the stage was set for Police to decimate Somerset Bridge by a whopping 121 runs in Monday's final.

Despite capturing two trophies already, the season has been one of ups and downs Police with a long period of inconsistency sandwiched between the two titles.

Senior player Richard Austin attributed his team's fine performances in the Champion of Champions matches to their recent tour of England, where they competed in the International Police Cricket Festival.

"We definitely came back with a different attitude after the tour. To be honest that's what has put us through in the last two games,'' said Austin.

According to Austin the grounds in England were ideal to field on and the conditions made it easier for the Police team to perform.

"It certainly helped us with our confidence in fielding. We came back here with this positive attitude based on what we experienced up there, taking in regard the stiff opposition and how we fought back. We knew that if we played with the same attitude and maintained the same spirit it would help a lot,'' said Austin.

On Monday against Somerset Bridge they knew that their priority was to get players Arnold Manders and Jeff Richardson out cheaply.

"Tou get so complacent doing the same thing, playing against the same opposition all the time you forget certain things ... but we learned on tour that nobody knew us, none of our own supporters were around, so we had to show a different face and it rewarded us this week.''
