Wayne Cave carts off the spoils in GASP Tier ‘B’ championships
The experts are adamant that perseverance is the main ingredient to success and Wayne Cave endorsed that view when he finally clinched the top spot when the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) staged a Class B tournament in the pavilion of the Malteenoes Sports Club, Sunday morning last.

Cave turned in a flawless performance to amass 6 points and a positive spread of 382 to win the tournament, while Maurice Munru clinched the second place spot with 5 points and a positive spread of 192. Robert Williams sealed off the final podium spot after amassing 4 points and a positive spread of 220.
Despite winning all of his games, Cave was made to dig deep against Williams, Munru and Grace Hercules whom he defeated by narrow spreads of 4, 9 and 9 respectively. His other victims were Kevin Williams (176), Paul Adams (90) and Prudence Edwards (94).
Munru benefited from a bye (50) but defeated Hercules (47), Robert Williams (19), and Edwards (50) while Robert Williams won games against Hercules (43), Adams (141), and Kevin Williams (9). He also benefitted from a bye (50).
The players continue practice sessions at the Malteenoes Sports Club on Thursday evenings while the date for the next tournament will be announced soon.
