For the very first time in T&T, there will be a grand reunion of cricketers from a twenty-year period (1970 to 1990). This ambitious effort is planned for November 17 at 2 pm at the Carib Stand at the Queen's Park Oval. One of the chief organisers of the event is former national leg-spinner Ganesh Mahabir, who explained that it is not to play cricket but just to get together and remember what they are calling the Golden Years.
According to Mahabir: "We have not seen each other for many years and we don't even know who is alive and who is not with us anymore. We want to get together to spend a day reflecting and getting back in touch with one another. Some have fallen on hard times, some are sick, some are very successful. What we are hoping to get out of this is a measure of networking so that the guys can assist each other in whatever way. "We are asking the different teams to come at the Carib Stand and cook right there. We will have food and drinks and we will share the food and drinks among everyone and just enjoy each other's company."
The teams invited are Queen's Park, Moosai Sports, Paragon, Harvard, Police, Crompton, Maple, San Juan United, Santa Cruz, Merryboys, Wanderers, Preysal, Oxford, Comets, Clarke Road, PowerGen, Central Sports, Couva Sports, Trintoc and Juniors.
For further information, players can contact Mahabir at 787-6334, Tony Dharson 755-8123, Raphick Jumadeen 658-7732, Waz Hosein 740-8559, Deonarine Deyal 734-5915 and Gary Almondoz 684-9796.
The organisers are trying to get in contact with these former players.
