Using the home court advantage to full effect, Everest emerged winners of the annual Oscar E. Shew Memorial Dominoes tournament which climaxed before vociferous supporters at the Camp Road entity on Sunday last.
The competition which attracted 18 teams and played under a special points system developed by son of the deceased and organiser Manniram Shew, saw Everest tallying 386 points in the two-round aggregate basis to edge Turning Point two points adrift on 384.
The eventual winners held centre stage in the first round with 206 points and followed this up with 180 while Turning Point had scores of 187 and 197.
Occupying the third and fourth spots respectively were Mix-Up with 362 (179 and 183) and Top Gun with 357 (196 and 161).
The winners took home a trophy and $180,000, the highest monetary prize since the tournament started in 2000. The six players were also recipients of replica trophies. Second placed Turning Point received $90,000 and trophy, while Mix-up were presented with $54,000 and a trophy.
Prior to Sunday’s presentation ceremony, the participating teams and officials observed one minute’s silence in memory of the late Oscar E. Shew. Oragniser, Manniram Shew is extending appreciation to the Executive and members of Everest Cricket Club affording them the uses of their club for the tournament.
According to Shew, next year’s tournament will even be bigger with the expected participation of three overseas teams.
