MANNIE’S 6 led from the start to finish to emerge winners of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs-sponsored dominoes competition, held recently at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion.

With Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Pauline Sukhai, witnessing the entire proceedings and presenting the trophies at the end, Mannie’s 6 never surrendered the lead, finishing on 77 games, with Movement Foundation of Region Eight placing second on 71 and Hot Shots failing to fire any shots, ending in the cellar with 64.

Selwyn Prescott of Mannie’s 6 registered the maximum 18 games for the winners and received valuable support from Ariel D’Oliviera (16), Tony Alli (13) and Manniram Shew (12).

The top markers for Movement Foundation were T. Daniels and N. Jeffrey with 15 games each while W. Waldron had 14. S. Henry, with 16, led the way for Hot Shots with Martin Pestano recording 12. The three “lovebirds” were Hilbert “Bumpy” Ali of Mannie’s 6 and O. Matherson and P. Nelson of Movement Foundation.

Minister Sukhai, who met all three teams prior to the feature game, also gave them a ‘pep’ talk at the end of the proceedings, while congratulating them for participating in the event.

Trophies were awarded to the winning and runners-up team, and the Most Valuable Player (MVP) Selwyn Prescott of Mannie’s 6.
