The intense action which was spread across the three counties (Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice) including areas such as Linden and Bartica, was very pleasing to the Guyana National Dominoes Federation (GNDF) and Ansa McAl.
Inaugural champions of the nationwide competition, “Gangster” domino team, are now $1million richer after receiving their grand cash prize at the Ansa Mcal’s head office at Beterverwagting during a simple presentation on Tuesday. Gavin Towler of the championship winning team, Gangster, was deemed the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament and was also handsomely rewarded.

Meanwhile, third place finishers TNT, pocketed $100,000 and the corresponding accolade.
