In a significant celebration of sporting excellence and corporate social responsibility, telecommunications leader Flow hosted the newly crowned 2025 Prime Minister’s Cup champions, Weymouth Wales FC, at their Warrens corporate headquarters. The event highlighted the transformative power of sports in community development across Barbados.
The championship team, guided by Manager Alphonso Lewis, Coach Asquith Howell, Physiotherapist Chantelle Braithwaite, and Captain Hadan Holligan, engaged in productive discussions with Flow’s senior leadership team led by Vice-President and General Manager Desron Bynoe. The gathering also included key members of the Prime Minister’s Cup Organizing Committee, Chairman Omari Eastmond and Marketing Strategist Danielle Toppin.
Flow demonstrated its substantial commitment through both financial investment and premium technological rewards. The company contributed approximately $30,000 in direct support for tournament activities and player development. Each member of the victorious Weymouth Wales squad received a share of $5,000 in recognition of their championship performance.
Individual excellence received special acknowledgment with top-tier technology awards. Andre Applewhaite, honored as both Most Valuable Player and Best Defender, received a cutting-edge iPhone 17. Jamarco Johnson from runners-up Kickstart Rush, celebrated as Best Young Player, was presented with a Samsung S25 tablet. The fan community participated in the celebrations as well, with Tibu Johnson winning an Apple iPad through the Flow Fan Prize initiative.
During the ceremony, Bynoe emphasized the broader significance of the team’s achievement: ‘At a time when our communities need positive examples, what you have achieved shines a bright light. Your undefeated season after last year’s disappointment demonstrates remarkable discipline and character.’ He encouraged the players to ‘remain humble, lift as you climb, and pass your knowledge to younger generations.’
Shane Archer, Project Manager for the Prime Minister’s Cup, applauded Flow’s ongoing commitment: ‘Flow’s involvement demonstrates how powerfully Corporate Barbados can stand with young athletes. Their investment rewards hard work, uplifts communities, and helps create brighter futures. I urge other businesses to emulate this exemplary model of community support.’
The partnership represents Flow’s strategic dedication to youth development and community enrichment through sports sponsorship, establishing a benchmark for corporate citizenship in Barbados.
