THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) mourns the loss of Ronald Legall who passed away on August 3, at the age of 72 due to a terminal illness. The GCB, in a release, said that Legall was not a stranger to the cricket fraternity since he was one of the persons one would approach for accurate cricket records; something he took pride in compiling.
“His contribution to cricket in Guyana was instrumental and will always be remembered. He was a dedicated cricket scorer for the radio during regional and international tournaments in Guyana, and an efficient statistician,” the GCB said in their release.
Legall will be remembered as courteous, helpful, humorous and a pleasant person, always trying to cheer others. He was also very devoted and passionate about his work.
During his years as a book scorer and statistician, he tried to get others on board with him; especially the youths. He even made himself available to train them.
The GCB offers warmest condolences to his family, relatives and friends.
