The day has finally come for the Clash of Champions! After months of preparation, the exhibition signifies the end of our debut in Jamaica. For the exhibition we had about 150 people come out to support the events. These people included some past All Jamaica Champions, JBA council members, CBA board members, participants from our training clinics, parents of our participants, people from Kingston and Mandeville (thank you for taking the time to drive to Kingston to take part in our exhibition)! We also had a raffle draw to help raise funds for the foundation and people were supportive by purchasing tickets which got them a chance at one of our draw prizes which included two top of the line Li-Ning racquets!
Thank you everyone for making it a huge success! The exhibition featured our founder, Charles Pyne along with 3 other current and past All Jamaica Champions Gareth Henry, Garron Palmer, and Bradley Graham. Online voting was used to help determine which two champions will face off against each other. After more than 1000 votes, the match up between Garron Palmer and Bradley Graham was in the lead heading into the exhibition with a whopping 397 votes. After a round of live voting using a decibel metre to measure the cheering of the crowd, Garron and Bradley's match was still in front. Two singles matches were played with the first singles match featured Charles Pyne and Gareth Henry and the second singles match, our main event as voted by the public was between Garron Palmer and Bradley Graham. Then the champions played a doubles match of the team of Charles Pyne and Bradley Graham (the two old man) against the younger team of Garron Palmer and Gareth Henry. All matches went to three sets and the four put on a spectacular show for the audience which showcased their athleticism, speed and power.
All in all, the night could not have been successful without our group of extraordinary volunteers: Kibwe Smith, Ruth Williams, Kemar Valentine, Kareem Chin, Kerrie-anne Tucker, Kathryn Prendergast, Kathrine Wynter, Jemarey Gordon, Demarley Edwards, Toni-Ann Lyew, Shelby Stephensons, Willroy Myles, and Oshane Morgan. Also, a big thank you to our directors Chris Zacca, Richard (Gregory) Wong, and Kingsley Ford for all their hard work over the past few months!
THANK YOU ALL!
