Bidders are Linden Town Week Dewars dominoes champions following a hard fought final at Speedy’s Natural Juice outlet, Amelia’s Ward / Wisroc Car Park, on Sunday night.

The team carted off the top prize of $100,000, the winners’ Dewars Trophy and bragging rights, following their dramatic final win.

Led by the experienced duo of Jevon ‘Massive’ Allicock and Ian Bacchus, the Bidders, in their final sitting for glory, overcame a fifth sitting lapse to come from behind and snag the title.

Earlier, the eventual champions relinquished the lead for the first time to trail on 60, behind Big Landing, who nudged ahead on 63, leaving pre-game favourites, CATS, trailing on 57.

It was then that Jevon Allicock — later adjudged the Player of the Tournament — and teammate Ian Bacchus rebounded in fine style with maxim sixes in this final sitting.

The pushed Bidders to victory with 75 games, as both Big Landing and CATS had to settle on 68 games.

Allicock, for his Player of the tournament title, was rewarded with the Attorney- at-Law Candacy Welcome trophy.

However, CATS claimed the second place beating Big Landing into third position, on account of having scored more fives.

For the champions, Jevon ‘Massive’ Allicock led the way with 17 games; Bacchus finished with 14 and teammate Kevin Hooper supported with 12.

However, CATS’ Tyrone Perry, the player who marked the maximum 18 games, was named Most Valuable Player of the Final and won the Marlon Fields Trophy.

Gerry Faucet, who had inflicted the first ‘Sir Love’ of the tournament, collected the replica trophies donated by Marlon Fields while June Cummings was adjudged the Best Female Player and was awarded the Candacy Welcome Trophy.

The best dressed team was Bidders.
Oswald ‘Speedy’ Charles presented all the trophies and cash incentives to the various winners at the conclusion of the final.
