It speaks volumes about the culture we\u2019ve built and the drive we all share to bring success to the club.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Craig Overton<\/strong> reflected on past Finals Days as motivation. <em>\u201cLifting the trophy in 2023 was incredibly special, but there have also been tough defeats that really hurt.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThose moments teach you a lot about yourself and the team. Going into this one, we\u2019ll take all those experiences with us and hopefully put ourselves in the best position to go one better again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tom Lammonby <\/strong>added <em>\u201cEveryone\u2019s excited but focused on the job at hand. Finals Day is as much for our supporters as it is for us, and we\u2019ll be doing everything we can to make them proud.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulling on the Somerset shirt is a moment of pride amplified on Finals Day as <strong>Jack Leach <\/strong>adds. <em>\u201cThere\u2019s a sense of pride every time you wear it. You think about the history of the club and the player who\u2019ve come before you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHaving top-quality kit makes a big difference too \u2013 when you are in a high-pressure environment, you need kit that you can rely on so you can focus on performing for the team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, <strong>James Rew, <\/strong>who received his first call-up to the England Men\u2019s test squad in May, reflects on the preparation and what the victory could mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe talk a lot about sticking to our processes and controlling what we can control.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFinals Day can be hectic, but if we stay grounded and back our preparation, we know we\u2019ve got what it takes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cTo lift the trophy would be massive.
