THEY recently ended the reign of Georgetown-based teams by becoming the first team from the mining community of Linden to win the National Guinness title and according to manager and owner of Dave & Celena’s All Stars, Lalta Ramdehol, (aka Richie) their focus now is to add the inaugural Guinness Cage/Three Peat Promotions Competition to their cabinet.

Ramdeholl, who has been at the helm of the team’s successes, which include the Linden segment of the Guinness competition, speaking with the media said that they are in full preparation mode right now and the aim is to take back the crown to Linden.
According to Ramdehol, the team has an affinity with the Guinness brand and because of that, players are going all out to win the inaugural tournament which commences on August 24, at the National Gymnasium.
“We are looking to stay as the Guinness champions; we are looking forward to keeping our title and continue winning. We are well prepared and ready for the tournament.”
Quizzed on whether the team can transition their outdoor success to the indoor version, Ramdehol pointed to unity and belief as key components that will make the conversion easy for them.
“Whether it’s indoor or outdoor, we believe we can do it again, it’s the same team, it’s a winning team and they are capable of doing it again”.
Asked whether he envisages making any tactical changes in terms of team formation he responded by saying that while the format is a bit different to that of the outdoor, there will be no major changes.
He, however, said that should there be any need for adjustments then they are ready to make those adjustments.
Among the players he will be depending on to lead the charge for victory are Rawle Gittens, Keon Sears and Kenard Simon.
Over $800 000 in cash prizes and trophies will be up for grabs with the winner set to receive $400 000 and the championship trophy, while second-, third- and fourth- placed finishers will take home $200 000, $100 000 and $50 000 along with trophies.
