Grace Kennedy Money Services under its Western Union brand has thrown its support behind the Strikers Sports Club’s second annual ‘Salute to Mothers’ domino competition which is scheduled to end tomorrow at the Strikers Sports Club’s Meadowbrook location.
This is according to a press release from the club.
Chief Accountant of Grace Kennedy Money Services, Jermaine Samaroo, recently presented the second-place prize of $70,000 and trophy on behalf of the company to tournament coordinator Roderick Harry.
Samaroo, during brief remarks, stated that the establishment was pleased to support the initiative which empowers women, adding that the entity is committed to continuing its corporate social responsibility of supporting noteworthy ventures.
The event started on April 6th.
All female teams were invited to take part in the tournament, with the first six given preference based on first acknowledgments. The teams who first answered the call were Big Girls captained by Yonette Christmas, 1966 LAW, captained by Valerie Fortune, In Time captained by Loraine Rodney, C-Point captained by June Watts, Cody Girls captained by Carol Burrowes, and Cevons Big Boss Girls captained by Charlyn Barnwell. The teams will play in a round-robin format where they will face off against each other four times on a points system basis. Last year’s winners were Cody girls.”
Each win will be worth five points, while second place will equate to three points. A third-place finish is worth a point. The eventual winner of the event will be determined by the total points at the end of the event. In the event of teams finishing on identical points, the victor will be determined by the number of sixes and then fives if needed respectively.
Presently, C-Point leads the standings with 21 points after the conclusion of six rounds whilst Cevon Big Boss, In Time, Big Girls, 1966 LAW and Cody Girls are on 20, 19, 18, 16, and 14 points respectively.
