ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The Hon. Julian Fraser/Save the Seed Basketball League conveyed a special award this past Saturday, October 5, 2013 to Thomas Richardson Snr. for his contribution to the sport of basketball in the community.

Richardson received the award for his contribution to the sport as a player as well as for refereeing duties and other contributions made towards the BD League over the past four years.

The award was handed over by Third District Representative, Hon. Julian Fraser RA.

Richardson, in accepting the award, stated that it was quite a surprise and added that he never expected to receive any sort of recognition for his years in the sport.

The award recipient expressed appreciation for the acknowledgement and stated that he would continue to do whatever he could in making a contribution towards the sport in the community.

Coach Milton C. McLean said Richardson was highly deserving of the award and noted that the honouree had always given one hundred and ten percent of himself as a player. “Whatever we call on Brother Tom to do, he’s been there like a trooper,” Coach McLean related.

He further described Richardson as a man of discipline who placed a lot of effort into whatever he did.

    If those guys were in power, they wouldn't have the time of day to be dealing with the youths and their community like the way they are right now so I say leave them right where they are. (OPPOSITION VIP FORWARD EVER, BACK IN POWER NEVER). Don't get me wrong, NDP neither so put in new candidates next time around.
