🏏 Kookaburra WA Community Cricket Awards 🏏
We’re proud to recognise James Gannaway, President of the Busselton Margaret River Cricket-Association, who recently took out the Country Male Volunteer of the Year award at the recent Kookaburra WA Community Cricket Awards.
Similar to many volunteers, James gives countless unpaid hours to supporting clubs, players and volunteers, quietly solving problems behind the scenes and making sure the game continues to thrive at a grassroots level—all driven by his genuine love for cricket and community.
His impact was most evident through his pivotal role in securing and delivering the recent Country Cricket Championship. Taking a full week of annual leave, James worked tirelessly before and throughout the event—coordinating logistics, sourcing funding and sponsorship, and stepping in wherever needed—to ensure a seamless and memorable championship for players, officials and supporters alike.
Leading with integrity, generosity and passion, James doesn’t just hold the title of President of the BMRCA - he truly lives it. His care, pride and sense of responsibility exemplify the very best of volunteerism, leaving a lasting impact on country cricket.
đź‘Ź Thank you, James, for everything you do.
