In what was regarded as the most keenly contested tournament where three of the top seeds ended on 5 points apiece, Moen Gafoor distinguished himself from among the lot with the largest spread of 500 to take the top prize when the Amelia Falls Hydro Open scrabble tournament concluded at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas lands, Sunday afternoon last.
Gafoor lost to Abigail McDonald (122) who in turn surrendered a game to Belony by a spread of 76.
In a tournament of fluctuating fortunes it was the nail biting encounter between Belony and Gafoor which had the most significant impact on the result. That game fluctuated with first Gafoor and then Belony effecting superb plays and assuming slim leads. The pattern continued right down to the final move when Gafoor eked past Belony by 4 points. He then went on to defeat veteran, Grace Hercules, by 164 in the final round which saw him surging ahead of Belony and McDonald.
Wayne Cave continued to show vast improvement and consistency when he played his way to the 4th place which also earned him the special prize for the best player outside of the top 10.
The 3 top players were each rewarded with beautiful trophies donated by the sponsors.
Activities continue this Thursday evening when the players convene at the Malteenoes Sports Club for the usual practice sessions while the date for the next tournament will be announced soon.
