SIR RODNEY WILLIAMS TO BE PATRON OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA FALCONS
Monday 29th April 2024

 

 


The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, the newest team in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), proudly announces the appointment of His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams, Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda, as their esteemed patron. This significant collaboration marks a new era for cricket in Antigua and Barbuda and the wider Caribbean, combining sports excellence with community impact.

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, established in January 2024, are set to soar in the upcoming CPL season. Replacing the Jamaica Tallawahs, the Falcons bring fresh energy and determination to the league. Their home ground, the iconic Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, will witness several thrilling matches as the Falcons compete against other top teams.

Jefferson Miller, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, expressed his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to have H.E. Sir Rodney Williams as our patron. His unwavering commitment to Antigua and Barbuda aligns perfectly with our team’s vision. Together, we aim to elevate cricket and inspire the next generation of players.”

In a pioneering move, the Falcons will join forces with the Halo Foundation, a leading Antiguan and Barbudan charitable organization, which is also under the patronage of H.E. Sir Rodney Williams and H.E. Lady Williams. This partnership aims to create positive change beyond the cricket field. The Falcons and the Halo Foundation will collaborate on initiatives that support education, arts, and community development.

Sir Rodney Williams, known for his passion for education and youth empowerment, shared his thoughts: 

“We are absolutely delighted to witness the return of the Falcons to the competitive arena. As individuals deeply rooted in the Caribbean culture, we hold a profound understanding of cricket not merely as a sport, but as a powerful unifying force that binds us together. The re-entry of the Falcons into the competition not only heightens our excitement but also enhances our collective enjoyment of the game. We extend our heartfelt wishes for their unparalleled success and look forward to seeing them soar high in the tournaments to come.”

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will commence their quest in the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League on August 29, 2024
