We're not the only ones keeping an eye out for Cup Match do's and don'ts
Every Bermudian knows that Cup Match is as much about the game as it is about seeing and being seen in your best Cup Match outfit.While all the other outlets are reporting on who's got the highest batting average or who's scored the most runs in the season leading up to the big moment, we decided to ask the questions that everyone wants the answers to – SB correspondent Jordan Knight caught up with two of this years star younger players and asked them to weigh in on Cup Match fashion – what they're wearing and what they're hoping to see YOU in.
