The 2025 Buss Ball tournament came to a fitting close with a vibrant and emotional Awards Ceremony that capped off an unforgettable day of cricket, community, and celebration.
The event, which showcased the best of local cricket talent and sportsmanship, ended on a high note with the Special Awards Presentation, recognizing individuals who truly represent the spirit of the game.
Taking home the award for Best Performing Father & Son Pair were Justin Athanaze and J’quan Athanaze, a dynamic duo whose performance and unity captured the very essence of Buss Ball: generations coming together through cricket. Their bond on and off the field stood as a powerful reminder of the sport’s ability to connect families and communities.
Another proud moment came with the presentation of the Inaugural Cricket268 Lifetime Achievement Award, bestowed on none other than Mr. Hugh Gore, former Manager of the Antigua and Barbuda and Leeward Islands Senior Teams. Gore, a true stalwart of Caribbean cricket, was honored for his decades of unwavering dedication and service to the sport. His contributions have left an indelible mark on the cricketing landscape of the region.
