Cooper crowned May Pen’s Domino Master

Leroy Cooper can now boast that he was the best player out of 150 participants following Sunday's fourth stop of the Supreme Ventures Domino Master tournament which was held at the Hotel Versalles in May Pen, Clarendon.

Cooper emerged victorious after outplaying the competition by putting his 'cut-throat' skills to the test and walking away with the grand prize of $150,000 plus bragging rights as May Pen's Community Champion.

After four intense rounds of play, Cooper was the last man standing with Oneil McKenzie finishing in second place while Adene Higgins came in third, and Archilous Lennon taking fourth place.

An elated Cooper shared his thoughts on his win, after seeing off his challengers in what was highlighted as a fierce battle to the very end.

"I feel good because from I reached the second round, I felt like I would win the championship today. The competition was fierce, but I stayed focused and played my best game," said Cooper.

The Supreme Domino Masters Series has been making waves throughout Jamaica, with its community qualifiers drawing in a competitive crowd of more than 200 participants at each stop all vying for the coveted title of Supreme Domino Master. David White was crowned Portmore's Domino Champion, Garfield Brissett earned bragging rights after the Spanish Town stop and Gerry Gardner was the last man standing after the first stop in Montego Bay.

Dwayne Tulloch, Senior Vice-President of Retail and Customer Operations at Supreme Ventures Limited, expressed his delight at the continued success of the series.

"The competition has been nothing short of amazing, and we are excited to witness the growth and impact of the Supreme Domino Master Series on Jamaica's domino culture. The series has been growing with each stop as we see more people turning out and some have become familiar faces as they follow the series to each community. We especially love the enthusiasm and passion of the spectators and players. We congratulate Leroy Cooper on his victory and are looking forward to the next tournament, which will be held at Caymanas Park on May 21, 2023," Tulloch stated.

The top 16 competitors from each community qualifier will automatically qualify to compete in the national championship on June 4. The winner of the grand finals will receive $1-million and the title of Jamaica's National Domino Champion.
