It was joy and good tidings for the Rusty Bubble-sponsored Peace and Love players as they received an early Christmas gift of $4 000 for winning the second Triumph 50s Dominoes Tournament at Sandy’s Place in Black Rock on Sunday night.
The team, comprising a number of former QEH slammers – including captain Sherry-Ann Dawson, Anderson Belgrave, Suzette Hinds and Anderson Powers – finished with the lowest combined score of 899 points. Other team members were Kirk Davis, Daneisha Brathwaite, Lionel Rock and cricket photographer David Blenman.
The Generals, with Hamilton “Hammie” Durant leading from the front, along with his wife Charmaine Durant, Ralph Bailey and Delisle Parris, were second. They gained 1 009 points and earned $2 000.
Friendimes, last year’s runners-up, came third with 1 052 points and collected $1 200, while RM Cleaners finished fourth on 1 091 points to collect $800. Last year’s winners HIBI were knocked out in the quarter-finals.
Sponsor Mark Bynoe of the Triumph wholesale store in Tudor Bridge, thanked the players for their support and said he was so overwhelmed by the response that he plans to sponsor the tournament again next year. (EZS)
