Abigail McDonald surrendered her first game to Moen Gafoor by a 72 spread margin but returned to win her remaining games to notch up 5 points and a positive spread of 569 to claim the spoils when the inaugural Fred Collins Classic Scrabble tournament concluded at the Malteenoes Sports Club yesterday afternoon.
McDonald’s victims were Grace Hercules (352), Fred Collins (95), Ulric Harris (111), Ewart Adams (16) and Julian Skeete (167)
Moen Gafoor continued his rich vein of form but had to contend with the second place spot after amassing a similar amount of points but with a lower spread of 473. He lost to Collins (41) but prevailed over Ruby Cummings (38), Adams (28), Skeete (167) and Orlando Michael (107).
Ewart Adams also made a grand return to the podium, sealing off the remaining spot with 4 points and a positive spread of 383 after defeating Ulric Harris (118), Michael (95), Maurice Munru (2) and Collins (212).
Julian Skeete finished on 4 points and a negative spread of 247 to cop the special prize for the best player outside the top ten.
Meanwhile, the players will journey to the Mining Town of Linden to compete in the yearly Earl Vigilance memorial tournament on June 24 next.
Vigilance was ranked among the top seeds when an industrial accident claimed his life some 5 years ago. Ever since then the players have traveled to Linden to compete in the tournament named in his honour.
Otherwise, the players convene at the Malteenoes Sports Club on Thursday evenings to engage in practice sessions.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
