Can Rangers win BELCO Cup five times in a row?
Can Rangers win BELCO Cup five times in a row?
Rangers have dominated the early season showpiece over the past few years and were given the trophy to keep after claiming their fifth title in a row last season.
And Tucker, who scored a century and 99 to lead his team to victory last year, hopes Rangers' will be the first name etched on the new BELCO Cup.
"We look to win whenever we play and it has just worked out that we have won it five times now.
"It comes down to how we play on the day, nothing is guaranteed," said the big hitting all-rounder, who blasted a century in Open Cricket last weekend.
Trophies
"We're trying to keep the trophies we've got and add to them as well," added Tucker, who says breaking Social Club's stranglehold on the league title is his team's main ambition.
"Everybody is looking to win the league. That's the most important tournament in any sport."
With wicketkeeper Kwame Tucker and all-rounder Malachi Jones still off the island for the early season, Janeiro is doubling up as captain and coach.
And he insists his mind is fully focused on Saturday's semi-final match-up with Police.
"I'm not even thinking about Social Club. We've got to worry about winning Saturday's game and then we'll start thinking about dealing with whoever gets through to Sunday."
Police have no plans to make it easy for them.
Skipper Vincent Bradshaw said his side had become a force to be reckoned with in Bermuda cricket again and had no plans to turn back.
"We are in it to win it.
"We are a force in Bermuda cricket. We came up from the First Division and finished third in the league, we reached the play-offs in the 20-20 and we did pretty well in Open Cricket as well....
"We are up there with the top teams, the gap is not that large.
"Our guys have been training hard. The BELCO Cup is the second biggest trophy in the game so we are taking it very seriously. "It's a knockout match and anything can happen."[[In-content Ad]]
