Wray and Nephew cool Fire Brigade for domino quarter-final spot
Wray & Nephew Limited booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the 2016 National Association of Domino Bodies (NADB) Kingston & St Andrew Region/Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum Business House League with a 125-109 victory over Jamaica Fire Brigade last Friday.
Both teams needed to win to advance to the next round. As it turned out, it was the spirited Wray & Nephew Limited that wanted it more as they dominated their opponents and claimed one of the two remaining spots from Zone A in the top division.
Gleaner Company took the last spot after they defeated the already qualified National Commercial Bank (NCB) 131-120, while two-time defending champions Kingston Wharves, who are unbeaten, edged Carib Cement 125-124.

Urban Development Corporation (UDC) whipped Digicel 126-100, while Stewart’s Auto Sales won their match of the season when they destroyed Seaboard Jamaica 132-106.
In Zone B, Jamaica Observer ill-treated Cari-Med 138-107 to confirm their place in the quarter-finals, Pepsi-Cola Jamaica also book their spot in the next round after defeating Transport Authority 150-137 and Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) kept their hopes alive after they got the better of Flow 139-133.
