Khemraj Pooranmall turned in a sterling performance to take honours against Wilbert Freeman when the Guyana Draughts Association (GDA) staged a two man tournament at Oasis Water, Aubrey Barker Street, South Ruimveldt last Saturday.
The tournament was played on a first two basis and it was Pooranmall who captured the first two sets to prevail.
Managing director of Oasis Water, Wayne Forde acquiesced to sponsorship of the tournament and delivered short remarks at the conclusion. He congratulated the eventual champion even as he expressed delight at being given the opportunity to support the sport.
Mr. Forde labeled draughts as a sport of wits and further urged wider participation from members of the various communities. The businessman then pledged future support to the Guyana Draughts Association.
Mr. Pooranmall expressed delight for the support received and said thank you to his benefactor. He also urged citizens to become involved in the sport as it could aid in rational thinking even as the participants derive pleasure from involvement.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
