Trophies and awards were presented following the Saturday night Finals, following an address by Tournament Co-ordiantor, also SVG Sporting Ambassador, Sabrina Mitchell.

Mitchell thanked the sponsors of the Tournament, specifically Digicel, John Clark of Canouan, Jaden Sun, Wind n Sea, CCA Ltd, Canouan Resorts, Tamarind Beach Hotel, Frangipani Hotel and MASA Emergency Services.She made mention of the expense of the short tournament due to the distances to travel, but stressed the importance of such an event, which showcases the sporting talent of the Grenadines players, who rarely get an opportunity to play in any National forum.She expressed her appreciation of Roseman Adams of Union and Rohan Henry of Canouan who do both the administration of the tournament in their respective islands, and assist very competently with the overall running of the event.Madam President also gave a special mention of the tenacity of the Mayreau team who played with great effort throughout the tournament, and never gave up. Despite coming from a very small island with a small talent pool, they played a high level of basketball and brought a level of great sportsmanship to the event, which is well recognised!

She concluded her address thanking all of the players for a wonderful competition of quality basketball and mentioned that the 2016 tournament will be shifted to the month of May next year.
