Team captain Darin Ramroop led Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) to a comeback win over JMMB in the final of the CariFin Games All Fours Tournament at the Guardian Group Building in Westmoorings on May 16.
After the hard fought final Ramroop was happy about his team's success. "It felt great to win after overcoming all the odds in the finals. Being four nil down in a best-of-nine series is a very difficult task to overturn. I am very proud of the overall performance of my team and we are looking forward to defending our title at the next CariFin All Fours Tournament."
Ramroop added the win showed team competitive spirit, sense of purpose and leadership to be able to rebound from an apparent loss and turn it into victory. The UTC team included Jamila Phillip-Charles, Crystal Noel, Sheldon Fields, Anton Manswell Bashiri De Graff, Calvin Felician and Jomo Wilson.
JMMB team captain Rajiv Soomarie said, "My team was pleased with the day, it was a fine outing and we played unbeaten until we were conquered in the final round by UTC."This year's format as well as the venue came up for praise from the teams; the eight teams were divided into two groups, that way they were able to play more matches than the traditional knockout format. The tournament started at 2 pm and concluded at 10.30 pm.
