The semifinal round of the highly anticipated West Coast Cooperative Credit Union Islandwide Domino League delivered two contrasting showdowns this week, as two elite teams locked in their spots for the upcoming championship decider.
Eclipse of Pottersville turned in a near-perfect performance to dominate their semifinal against One Love from Tarish Pit, holding a steady lead from the very first round of play to the last. The lopsided contest ended with a staggering 1,493-point margin of victory for Eclipse, with the final scoreboard reading 3,014 for the Pottersville side and just 1,521 for One Love.
In the second semifinal, fans in attendance witnessed a far tighter, hard-fought battle between Brigidy Stars of Paix Bouche and Rosema White City. Competing in front of a packed, energized crowd of domino enthusiasts, Brigidy Stars held off repeated pushes from Rosema White City to secure their place in the grand final. The close contest ended with a 370-point winning margin for Brigidy Stars, who finished with a total score of 3,009 against Rosema White City’s 2,639.
Fans will not have to wait long to see the two champions compete for the league title: the grand final, alongside the third-place playoff match, is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. this Saturday at the Goodwill Primary School Auditorium. The event is expected to draw a large crowd of local domino fans, as both teams vie for the coveted Islandwide Domino League championship trophy.
