The F.R.S L’Express Des Isles and Morancie & Sons Knockout Domino Competition wrapped up an electrifying quarter-final round on Saturday night, leaving a packed, lively crowd on the edge of their seats as four elite squads secured their spots in the upcoming semi-final stage of the tournament.
Topping the quarter-final leaderboard was Brigidy Stars of Paix Bouche, the reigning league champions, who delivered a dominant, commanding performance against Team Denver. The title holders outmatched their opponents from start to finish, closing out the matchup with an impressive final score of 3038 points against Team Denver’s 2256, cementing their status as one of the tournament’s top contenders.
Next up, league runners-up Eclipse of Pottersville turned in a similarly decisive win against the Warriors. The Pottersville-based squad put on a masterclass in strategic domino play, crushing their competitors with a lopsided 3031 to 1968 scoreline that earned them a well-deserved place in the final four.
In the third high-stakes quarter-final, West Bridge of Roseau fought through a tight contest to overcome Public Enemies. The Roseau squad held their nerve through key turning points in the match, ultimately pulling ahead to claim victory with a 3005 to 2584 final score, booking their first semi-final berth of the competition.
Rounding out the four semi-finalists is Massy Square, another Paix Bouche-based side, who secured their spot with a solid, consistent performance against Kalinago. Massy Square maintained control throughout their matchup, finishing with a 3005 to 2286 win that locked in their place in the next round.
With the quarter-final round now complete, the tournament is set to shift to the semi-final stage, with the first leg of matchups scheduled to kick off Thursday night in Paix Bouche. The opening semi-final will pit undefeated league champions Brigidy Stars against a gritty West Bridge squad, while runners-up Eclipse will go head-to-head against Paix Bouche’s Massy Square.
The return leg of the semi-finals is scheduled for the following Saturday night, hosted at two separate venues: the Roselin Bar in Pottersville will host the rematch between Eclipse and Massy Square, while the second rematch between Brigidy Stars and West Bridge will take place near the West Bridge area. Fans across the region are already gearing up for what promises to be two more weekends of high-intensity domino action as the tournament narrows down to a final champion.
