DURING his playing days as an all-rounder with the Regal Over-40 and Legends Over-50 teams, Throy Kippins was regarded as a competent all-rounder and on several occasions starred in his role with both bat and ball.
As fate would have it, a severe illness brought his career to an end. However, through the efforts of the Regal Stationery & Computer Centre, its softball teams and Ravi Etwaroo of Cricket Zone USA, Kippins’ heroics are still being remembered.

On Sunday, the Berbician, who now resides in New York, was the recipient of a plaque and a cash award, compliments of the two entities.
The plaque read: “A true champion of the game whose brilliance with the bat and ball matched only by unwavering determination, humility and heart. Though your career was cut short by illness, your legacy lives on in every innings and every player inspired.

Thank you for the memories, the fight and the spirit of a true cricketer. With respect and admiration from your Regal sports family.”
