In Bermuda, cricket and football (soccer) are the most popular sports. Cricket in particular now has a two-day (not including the weekend) holiday dedicated to it, called Cup Match. This tournament continues a tradition that began in 1872 when Captain Moresby of the Royal Navy introduced the game to Bermuda, holding a match at Somerset to mark "forty years since the unjust thraldom of slavery". The formation of civilian clubs followed, though black Bermudians were not permitted to join the first clubs, which were established by whites. Cricket became popular among blacks following the 1895 formation of the Bermuda Militia Artillery, a part-time reserve of the Royal Artillery that recruited blacks. Many blacks were consequently introduced to cricket in the army, and soon formed clubs of their own. The first Cup Match was played in 1902. The East End versus West End rivalry resulted from the locations of the St. George's Garrison (the original army headquarters in Bermuda) on Barrack Hill, St. George's, and the Royal Naval Dockyard at Ireland Island. Moresby founded the Somerset Cricket Club, located near to "Royal Navy Field" in Somerset, which plays the St. George's Cricket Club, based at Wellington Oval in Wellington (named for Field Marshall Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, former Commander-in-Chief of the British Army), St. George's, in this game. The whole of Bermuda ground to a complete halt for two days every summer to turn its attention to this cricket game. Venues of the game change yearly between both clubs. The popularity of the annual game was such that it caused continued absences from employment. As a direct result, the 2-day public holiday was first introduced in 1947 and has been in effect ever since. The two days (currently called Emancipation Day and Somers Day) feature a single Cricket match between teams from both ends of the island, a match has been played for over a century. The Island's national Cricket team has also competed internationally.
