“Clash of Champions” windball tournament slated for next Saturday

Windball action will return to the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue next Saturday for a one-day, power-packed event.
Seeing the success of such a tournament last week, when the Cheddi Jagan Memorial Windball tournament concluded, the National Sports Commission, through Director of Sport Christopher Jones, is expected to sponsor this one-day “Clash of the Champions” tournament.
The tournament is expected to feature the top windball schools from Region 3, Region 4 and Georgetown in day/ night encounters on Saturday, March 23.
The just-concluded Cheddi Jagan Memorial Windball tournament saw Beterverwagting Secondary and Carmel Secondary emerging as male and female champions respectively.
In the male final, Beterverwagting got the better of Camille’s, as eventual Player of the Match, Kapil Dev Phagoo, contributed 40 to the winning total of 64.
The third place playoff saw Carmel overpower Vreed-en-Hoop. The latter posted 63-0, and Carmel made light work of the total, reaching 68-1 owing to a solid batting performance from Player of the Match Jamal Da Santos.
Carmel championed the female division after outplaying Camille’s Institute in the final, chasing down 82. Stacy Flores shined for Camille’s Institute with 32, but her shine was dimmed by Amardeo, who knocked 40 to get her team over the line and cop the Player of the Match accolade.
The female third-place playoff saw Covent Garden failing to reach Tucville’s total of 64. Kizan London top-scored for Tucville with 29. N Agrippa’s 43 was not enough to get Covent Garden over the line, as they slumped to 61.
More details about this tournament will be released as they are provided.
