TOP Georgetown team, Spartans, took the winning ‘Snooks’ Shepherd Trophy and $175,000 when the joint promotion team of Mark ‘Jumbie’ Wiltshire and Arthur ‘Swagger Boss’ Chung-organised domino competition took place over the weekend at the Senior Supervisors Club in Linden.

Spartans came away as the winners and maintained their top billing after marking 80 games, edging out Providence on 78 who captaured $35,000; 15,000 for third place went to TNT who managed 76 games in an all Georgetown final, as Linden teams failed to reach the final stages of the tournament in the twelve team tournament.

However, it was Providence’s Junior Smith who was adjudged the Player of the Final with 16 games to receive $10,000 and a hamper, while no female prize was given out because of the lack of score-sheets to determine the top female player.

To reach the final, Providence with 63 games and TNT 65 were leading in the fifth sitting when Turning Point, on 50, turned off their challenge because of the unassailable lead by the two other teams and ‘chucked’ in.

Wiltshire thanked the teams which participated and promised to return to Linden for another tournament in August of this year.
