Tahje Wallen, captain of the Accountant General’s Department (AGD) Domino Team, expressed his pride and confidence after his team made history by reaching the quarter-finals of the Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) Sports Competition for the first time.

Their journey to the quarter-finals was marked by a decisive 49-31 win over Water Resources Authority (WRA) in their final Zone A match at Jasicera Park last Friday.

Wallen was pleased with his team’s effort.

“We’re thrilled to have made it to the quarter-finals. While I’m pleased with the accomplishment of my team, I’m now more confident that my improving team can now go all the way and claim the championship title,” Wallen said, reflecting on his team’s growing momentum.

“We’ve been working hard, and it’s paying off. I’m proud of each and every one of my teammates for their dedication and skill. We came into the match with a game plan, we stuck to the plan, and everything worked out for us and I am happy with that,” Wallen told the Jamaica Observer.

Wallen’s leadership has been instrumental in the team’s success. With his background in the sport, especially the educational part from years of summer camps, he brought a strategic mindset to the game.

“Dominoes is all about strategy and focus. We’ve been fine-tuning our game, and it’s showing in our results,” said Wallen, who is also a trained interpreter for domino competition.

The AGD Domino Team’s journey to the quarter-finals has been impressive, and they’ll look to continue their winning streak when they face the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining (MOAFM) on Friday at Jasicera Park, starting at 7:00 pm.

“We know it won’t be easy, but we’re ready for the challenge. We’ll give it our all and see how far we can go,” he said.
