The lone junior female, Shadica Mathura occupied the third podium spot with a total of 3 games and a positive spread of 33.
Meanwhile, President of GASP, Moen Gafoor expressed delight at the large turnout at the tournament. He was also pleased with the high standard of play exhibited by the novice players. The GASP President subsequently promised to place this particular tournament on the yearly calendar of activities in order to continue the development programme in the rural areas.
The players convene for the final tournament for the year, the Scrabble Scramble, sometime around mid December. In this tournament the entrance fee is pooled and presented to the winner of the tournament. The players will also continue the traditional practice sessions at the Maltenoes Cricket Club every Thursday evening starting at 19:00hrs.
