The team was not in action on the first day of play, Thursday July 25, when they were supposed to have met Molineux Domino Club at the Edgar Gilbert Sports Complex pavilion in Molineux. They however caused the first major upset on Tuesday July 30 when they travelled to Parsons Ground and demolished home team and the league’s defending champions Parsons Domino Club 13-6 in an entertaining game played at Back Way Bar.
Parsons Domino Club, which is from Constituency Number Six, made history last year when it became the first team from outside Constituency Number Seven to win the highly competitive Constituency Number Seven Domino League competition that is sponsored by Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, and Area Parliamentary Representative for Constituency Number Seven, Dr the Hon Timothy Harris.
