…Club mourning the loss of Wayne Jones’ wife

A 40-MEMBER contingent, comprising players and officials of Regal Masters and Legends teams will wing out for New York today to participate in the 18th edition of the New York Softball Cricket League (NYSCL) annual Independence Cup which commences on Friday.
According to the club, it has received the full backing of the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) and this was very evident last Saturday when representatives of MYO joined forces with members of the Regal cricket teams to pull off a major fund-raising venture for the cricketers heading to New York for the tournament which climaxes on Sunday.

Led by President Azad Ibrahim, with support from Imran Ally of I & S Trading and Fazal, the take-away barbecue was deemed an overwhelming success. More than 2000 tickets were sold and catered for which was mainly through collaboration between the two entities.
The management of the Regal cricket teams take this opportunity to extend special thanks to the supporters who purchased tickets to ensure the trip to the “Big Apple” is a success.
The club pointed out that profits garnered from the barbecue will help to offset some of the expenses, such as flights, accommodation, meals and transportation for the contingent.

Regal Legends Over-50s are the defending champions while Regal Masters Over-40s are making their debut this year. Both teams are in good spirits and are set to represent the Golden Arrowhead and the One Guyana concept proudly as sporting ambassadors.
The club has also been boosted with contributions from Premier Insurance of High Street, Georgetown and Albion Corentyne and FLSSSports Youtuber and has expressed sincere thanks to both entities.

Meanwhile, the Regal fraternity was plunged into mourning on Tuesday morning following the passing of veteran player Wayne Jones’ wife, Monica Powley. According to reports, she died at her Bel Air, Greater Georgetown home after a prolonged illness.
Jones has since withdrawn from the Regal Legends Over-50 team. Skipper Mahendra “Anil” Hardyal, while pointing out that Jones’ absence is a huge loss to the team, he is still confident of defending the championship honours come Sunday.
