Have you ever wondered how the CPL Hero Fan of the Match came about? It started with two friends painting their faces to show support for the franchise teams they supported and without expecting anything earning themselves some cash prizes.
Indeed, it had its origins in the inaugural match which started in 2013 when Guyanese Roxanne Adrian and Trinbagonian Gwendolene Roberts-Hartog decided to buy the package for eight matches of the first ever T-20 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) tournament that were being held at the Queen’s Park Oval (Oval) in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (TT) in August 2013.
Adrian had moved to Trinidad from Guyana earlier that year and was staying at her friend Roberts’ place in Champ Fleurs when one day in mid-2013 Roberts-Hartog brought home some flyers that were distributed in the TT daily newspapers.
