SHEW’S 6 emerged winners of the first memorial dominoes tournament, played in honour of the late Everest Cricket Club member, Mohamed ‘Fah’ Kadir, at the club’s Camp Road, Georgetown entity recently.

In a closely-fought encounter, which was decided in the final sitting, Shew’s 6 triumphed with 83 games, four better than Sukhai’s 6 who tallied 79, with Muntaz ‘Bhaji’ Ali’s 6 occupying the cellar position on 75.
The game was competitive from the outset and by the end of the penultimate sitting all three teams were still in with a chance of earning the top spot with the scores reading: Shew’s 6 on 69, Sukhai’s 64 and Ali’s 60.
The eventual winners, however, prevailed after recording 14 games in the final sitting while Sukhai’s 6 and Ali’s 6 scored 15 each.

Leading the charge for Shew’s 6 were Intikab ‘Corbie’ Ali and Rishi Das with 17 games each while Asgar ‘Supercool’ Ali and skipper Manniram ‘Packer’ Shew supported with 14 and 12 games respectively.
For Sukhai’s 6, the top markers were Brian ‘Hard Card’ Allen with 17 games, Hilbert ‘Bumpy’ Ali 14, Ramroop ‘Spoon’ Sukhai 13 and Savin Sookram 12.

Chibar ‘Tracta’ Seopaul led the way for Ali’s 6 with 17 games while there were 14 for Ron Callender and 13 for the overseas-based Ali who is vacationing in Guyana.
Apart from the winning and runner-up trophies, which were sponsored by the family of the late Kadir, a trophy was also awarded to the top player. Incredibly, four players – Intikab Ali (Shew’s 6), Rishi Das (Shew’s 6), Brian Allen (Sukhai’s 6) and Chibar Seopaul (Ali’s 6) all ended with 17 games.

In the end, it was Intikab Ali who took the prize, having given away the least amount of games.
