Hundreds of Somerset supporters turned out on Saturday for the traditional March of the Cup around the Somerset area.

Somerset Cup Match captain Jordan DeSilva followed tradition and rode a horse in the parade while carrying the Cup, which Somerset retained after defeating St George’s by ten wickets.

Somerset supporters followed a truck through the neighbourhoods of Somerset on what is now a decade-long habit of “We Marchin the Cup”.
