A jubilant Janeiro Tucker credited his team's record sixth overall Belco Cup triumph to team-work and execution on the pitch.

The Rangers player/coach and acting skipper praised his team for the manner in which they ruthlessly thrashed Young Men's Social Club by 10 wickets at Lords yesterday.

Guiding them to victory was left -arm spinner Dwayne Leverock (four for 15) and batsmen Curtis Jackson (44) and Gerald Simons (36) who powered their team to victory in 12.5 overs via an unbroken 97 run opening partnership.

"We really fought hard and took our chances and everything else just fell into place. Our guys put in one hundred and ten percent and I think it showed on the field," Tucker told The Royal Gazette.

"I thought our guys bowled extremely well and overall the team just put in the hard work."

Tucker claimed one for 13 off seven overs with two maidens and has played a role in each of his team's Belco Cup triumphs, the first of which arrived six years' ago

Asked which Belco Cup was the most special, Tucker paused, took a deep breath and replied: "This one. This victory is the sweetest of the lot because it's the overall record."

Only last year Rangers were presented with the original Belco Cup for keeps after winning it for the fourth year on the trot.

Perhaps making Rangers' latest milestone in the competition all the more memorable was the fact that they achieved it without key figures such as Kwame Tucker and Malachi Jones, who are currently off the Island, retired batsman Keith Wainwright and the versatile Rohann Simons whose brother Gerald hit the winning runs at Lords yesterday.

Tucker also attributed his team's success to some of the work they had put additional emphasis on during training this year.

"We have really been working in training on certain things," he added. "I have also told my players they cannot always rely on any one individual to deliver all the time and urged them to just focus on playing their roles to the best of their abilities, and now it seems to be paying off."

Tucker admitted he was surprised when Social Club elected to bat on a slightly moist pitch after winning the toss.

"I was surprised they went to bat after winnng the toss because the pitch had a bit of moisture on it earlier," he added. "But they had batted on it the day before and so I figured they knew something we didn't know about it and decided to bat first.

"The wicket really didn't play well in the morning and so Social Club had to fight for the runs they got."
