For today’s #welldonewednesday we take a look at NAPS Alumni & international cricketer Nicholas Pooran and his recent visit to Naparima College.
Nicholas has pledged to support the college’s cricket team with their equipment needs and to lend support financially. His decision to give back to this institution shows us the passion he holds for his alma mater and for the future sportsmen of Trinidad and Tobago. His visit was one which brought great excitement and inspiration to the boys.
Thank you Nicholas Pooran for your willingness to give back to the youth. Our association salutes you. Well done!

On today’s edition of #FlashbackFriday we ask the question: Who is this handsome heart-throb? Well, it’s none other than the legendary Naps Master Roy Jagroopsingh. While many remember him in the latter years as a sports master, teacher, dean and a mentor, in 1961 he was crowned Naparima’s Sports Boy of the Year excelling in Cricket, Football and Table Tennis. The following was written by Mahadeo Omar Dubay in the Olympian 1962:
 
“Roy Jagroopsingh entered Naparima College in January, 1957, and immediately distinguished himself in the field of sports. In the Inter-house athletics competition, he emerged champion of the Class IV group and his stage for a very colorful career in sports was set.
 
From 1958 – 1960 he represented the College in the Junior Intercol fixtures. In 1958-1959 he also played cricket for the junior team. His promotion to both the senior football and cricket teams came in 1960 and since then he has maintained his place and proved himself to be of exceptional ability.
 

    Sorry, photo gallery is empty.

 
Roy’s prowess has not been only on the cricket and football field, but it also extends to Table Tennis. In 1961 he was both the ‘A’ class and singles champion of the college.
This year his career rose to new heights as he led the College Cricket XI to victory in the ‘A’ division of the Senior Inter-College Cricket League. This had been a personal victory for Roy, whose determination has pulled out his team from many a difficult situation.
 
There is no more fitting person, to whom the award for the best all-round performance in sports could be given, than Roy Jagroopsingh – a dogged fighter and a graceful loser.”
We salute you Roy!

]]> Na­pari­ma Col­lege stu­dent Cephas Coop­er cre­at­ed a Sec­ondary Schools record when he smashed 297 runs against Bar­rack­pore West in the Pre­mier­ship di­vi­sion at Lewis Street in San Fer­nan­do, yes­ter­day.

Coop­er’s bril­liant ef­fort took his school to a mas­sive 394-run win. He went past Kirstan Kallicha­ran’s ef­fort of 194 for Vish­nu Boys in 2013.

At that time, Kallicha­ran went past a long­stand­ing record set by Bri­an Lara for the high­est in­di­vid­ual score of 168. A cou­ple sea­sons ago, Kalicha­ran scored an un­beat­en 404 not out against Va­len­cia. How­ev­er, this was in the SS­CL un­der-14 di­vi­sion.

Coop­er’s ef­fort is now the high­est score in the school’s top flight Pre­mier­ship. The right-han­der opened the bat­ting and was dis­missed stumped with still eight overs to go. He left the are­na for 297 made off 142 balls with 32 fours and 12 six­es. His ef­fort took Na­pari­ma Col­lege to a mam­moth 506 for four off their 50 overs.

In re­sponse, a shell-shocked Bar­rack­pore out­fit could muster on­ly 112 – with Ryan Ban­doo tak­ing 5/23, Math­ew Coop­er, Cephas’ broth­er tak­ing 2/28.

SCORES

At Lewis Street: Na­pari­ma 506/4 (50ovs) (Cephas Coop­er 297, Dar­ren Sam­lal 54no, Kyle Roopc­hand 47, Avinash Ma­habirs­ingh 35, Qwin-ci-Ba­bel 34, Shi­va Ram­lal 2/57) vs Bar­rack­pore 112 all out (Dil­lon Jag­mo­han 28no, Ryan Ban­doo 5/23, Math­ew Coop­er 2/28) – Na­pari­ma Col­lege won by 394 runs.
