REGIONAL and international cricket commentator Tony Cozier will deliver the feature address at the annual Queen's Park Cricket Club dinner and award ceremony to be held at the Queen's Park Oval on Friday 28th November, 1997.

The popular world-renowned cricket commentator will speak on the topic "The state of West Indies cricket today".

At the function, to which President ANR Robinson has been invited, the Sportsmen of the Year for each sporting discipline to which the club was involved as well as the club's five Cricketers of the Year will be announced. Among the cricketers in contention for honours are national opening batsman Suruj Ragoonath, currently on tour with the WI 'A' team in South Africa, WI youth left-arm pacer Asif Jan and national all-rounder AndrŽ Lawrence.

At last year's function, the club inducted former Test cricketers Joey Carew, Willie Rodriguez, Bryan Davis, Charlie Davis, Gerry Gomez (deceased), as well as veteran club cricketer Chris Galt, into their Hall of Fame. There are plans to add a few names this year.

The club also plans to use the opportunity to launch their fund-raising raffle in their efforts to defray costs for their tour of Australia. The 1997 Carib Sunday League title winners will be leaving T&T next month for a four-week tour "Down Under".

Among the major prizes in the raffle to be won are three Suzuki motor vehicles. Source :: The Trinidad Express (https://www.trinidad.net/express/)
