AFTER taking what seemed an unsurmountable lead, Halley’s 6 stumbled in the third and final leg of the Trophy Stall-sponsored three-way dominoes tournament which climaxed at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion on Tuesday night.

Entering the leg on 158 games, seven ahead of Marshall’s 6 and 21 clear of Dass’ 6, Halley’s 6 were relegated to the third position as the other two teams completely dominated the night’s proceedings.

In the end, Dass’ 6, who suffered two loves in the first sitting still managed to emerge winners of Tuesday night encounter with 82 games with Marshall’s 6 taking the first runners-up spot on 75 and Halley’s 6 in the cellar on a disappointing 56 games.

This meant the overall scores read: Marshall’s 6 – 226 games, Dass’ 6 – 219 and Halley’s 6 on 215. It should also be noted that Marshall’s 6 came out tops despite not winning any of the three legs, quite a remarkable achievement.

Selwyn Prescott led the way for Dass’ 6 with the maximum 18 games while Hardyal supported with 16, Manniram Shew 15 and Peter Ramroop 15. For Marshall’s 6, skipper Vackacy Joe led with 16 games while there were 15 each for Brian Allen and Alex Culley.
Intikab Ali was the lone shining light for Halley’s 6 with 14 games. Skipper Rishi Dass and Prem Basant were the two lovebirds for Dass’ 6.

Apart from copping the winning trophy, the three top players for Marshall’s 6 – Vackacy (43 games), Culley (39) and Allen (36) – were recipient of cups. Shew (45) and Prescott (43) collected for Dass’ 6 while Intikab Ali, with 47 games, the most by any player, was the leading player for Halley’s 6. Dexter Sue of Halley’s 6 received a prize for sharing the first love in the tournament.

The tournament was held in honour of former Guyana Chronicle senior sports reporter Frederick Halley who still freelances from Toronto, Canada and was vacationing in Guyana. It was organised by Shew and sponsored by Trophy Stall of Bourda Market.
