Jerry Josie placed second after a series of dominant performances through the knockout stages, while Mario Albert and Ritick Persaud shared third. Jameel De Agrella, Anthony Xavier, Parsram Sobhai and McQuain Smith rounded out the top finishers with fourth-place honours.
CSAG President Steven Persaud said the standard of play this year had been extraordinary, adding that 70 players from across the regions competing together showed cue sports were thriving in Guyana. He congratulated Boyce and the other top performers.
MMG Chief Executive Officer Mark Singh said the company was proud to support a championship that celebrated sporting excellence while bringing together players from across Guyana, adding that the event reflected the discipline and competitive spirit of the nation’s athletes.
