During the ceremony a video presentation to honour the life work of cricket all-round Journalist Tony Cozier was aired.

The feature speaker, Carlos Best from Digicel, spoke about how technology influence has had an enormous impact on sports.

In his presentation he spoke about the past, the present and the future as it relates to how it impacts on the athlete be it clothes, footwear, equipment and data collection.

The president’s award went to Chemar Holder and the BCA also honoured some of its members with special awards such as Wendell Kellman for his long service to the Association. Richard Stoute, Mervyn Jones, Pamela Lavine, Vincent Bullen and Patricia Greenidge all received appreciation awards. (CG)
