History will be made at the National Sports Centre (NSC) tomorrow where either Somerset Cricket Club or St. David's Cricket Club will get the opportunity to have their name inscribed first on Bermuda Cricket Board's (BCB) inaugural Twenty20 Trophy.

The two sides were unbeaten en route to the final and it's a sure bet Somerset skipper Jacobi Robinson and Islanders' stalwart Lionel Cann will look to keep it that way after all is said and done tomorrow.

For Somerset, victory would finally put an end to one of the longest droughts in local cricket.

"It's been a long road for Somerset . . . I would say it's been 20 years since Somerset won any type of silverware," Robinson said.

The burly all-rounder played a major part in getting his team to the final, lashing an unbeaten 65 to see off the threat of a determined Leg Trappers side at the NSC.

Robinson has now challenged his players to raise their game for what he anticipates will be a gruelling encounter with a potentially explosive Islanders team.

"It's not going to be easy playing St.David's because they have been in this position; they've won trophies," he cautioned. "But I think it's now our turn to stand up and be counted and put up a fight. We're not going to lie down."

With years of experience under his belt, Cann already knows a thing or two about winning trophies. He also knows better not to take any team for granted whenever there's silverware at stake.

"They (Somerset) are a very young team but are showing they are seasoned cricketers," he said. "I've been very impressed with what they have been doing; we've got our hands full."

As one of his team's senior members, much will be riding on the prolific bat of Cann who is also known to thrive on big occasions.

"Trophies are what sportsmen play for and we find ourselves in a good position this year playing some excellent cricket," he said.

The Board's new Twenty20 League has been well received by the local cricket public, with BCB vice-president Allen Richardson among those looking forward to what promises to be another exciting battle involving his former club St.David's and Somerset.

"We have certainly reached the apex of our short Twenty20 season and it certainly has been an overwhelming success," he said. "We've had great support from the clubs and I would like to commend the clubs, players and most importantly the National Sports Center for the great job they have done."

He added: "We couldn't have asked for the a better final, and I'm assuming the whole Island will be divided down the middle. I would encourage the public to come out because the BCB have pulled out all the stops.

"We are going to have a 30 foot screen and TV cameras so that the spectators can see the match on the big screen. The captains are going to be wired so the commentators will be able to talk to them and the spectators will be able to hear exactly what is going on.

"It promises to be a very, very entertaining evening. We have four great teams, spectacular surroundings, the screen and this year the event is free to the public."

The threat of thunderstorms and gale-force winds forced Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) to postpone the Twenty20 Cup final at the National Sports Centre last weekend. High winds had threatened the inflatable 30-foot screen that is the centre-piece of the event.

Tomorrow's action begins at 4 p.m. with the third place play-off between beaten semi-finalists Leg Trappers and Police followed by the final which begins at 8 p.m.
