The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons officially kicked off the highly anticipated Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Trophy Tour, bringing the excitement of the ‘biggest party in sports’ to their adoring fans.
In anticipation of this year’s competition, the Falcons had a heart-felt meet-and-greet with supporters by showcasing the coveted trophy in a series of public appearances, community events, and media engagements on Friday evening.
The tour began with a special launch event at the Woods Mall, where fans, officials, and young cricketers gathered to get their first close-up look at the prized silverware. Supporters of all ages came out to witness the historic moment, take photos with the silverware, and show their pride in Antigua and Barbuda’s dynamic cricket franchise.
Two of the team’s key players Rahkeem Cornwall and Jewel Andrew accompanied the trophy throughout the journey, handing out tickets, sharing stories, signing autographs, and encouraging fans to come out and throw their support behind the team.
Cornwall said: “We play for the people. This tour is a way to reach out to our passionate fans in the community who are with us every step of the way. The trophy belongs to all the fans.”
With a powerful squad and passionate supporters, the Falcons are ready to make their mark in 2025. Coached by Paul Nixon, the team has a number of world class performers and exciting youngsters looking to make a big impression.
