Statistician Charles Brown has been recognised for his commitment towards Cup Match by Hiscox Bermuda.Since 2005, Brown has compiled and maintained Bermuda’s Cup Match statistics, which cover more than 100 years. That information can be found on BermudaCupMatch.com.“Hiscox is pleased to support the preservation of Cup Match history which in turn encourages the continuation of Bermuda’s national sport,” said Jeremy Pinchin, chief executive officer of Hiscox Bermuda. “We salute Mr Brown's perseverance and are very delighted to share this aspect of Cup Match history with Bermuda and the world.”Brown said: "Maintaining current and accurate records is essential to preserving the statistical profile of this major part of our sports culture and knowledge of this history should motivate our current players to aspire to the heights of our former players as our Cup Match is a historic institution for Bermuda.“This kind gesture by Hiscox is greatly appreciated and is consistent with their support of Bermuda youth cricket over the last few years.”The statistics now online have been updated through the 2012 Cup Match.Long-time Cup Match statistician Tommy Atcheson passed away a few years ago after moving to the USA.“During his time in Bermuda he was an exceptional Cup Match record keeper. His statistics all done by hand and reproduced by typewriter were rich and accurate. It was his plan to leave the voluminous collection of stats with the Bermuda Archives upon his departure,” noted a statement released by Hiscox Bermuda.“However, fuelled by a commitment to the preservation of Bermuda’s cultural and sporting heritage associated with Cup March, Mr. Brown asked Mr. Atcheson if he would pass on his records instead of sending them to the Archives. Mr. Brown promised he would endeavour to keep up his predecessor’s good work.“So with the help, initially, of Warrington (Soup' Zuill), Mr. Brown began a labour of Cup Match love for the statistical heritage. He reorganised all the data in an easy to manage electronic form, while at the same time, meticulously updating the information after every Cup Match Classic.”
