Miami Lakes Elderly Affairs Committee hosted the 2nd annual Senior Games Domino Tournament on November 15 at the Roberto Alonso Community Center at Royal Oaks Park. Forty-eight double nine domino enthusiasts were treated to an evening full of competition and fun. Twenty-four teams took part in the tournament sponsored by Ambert Medical Center. 

The games were dedicated to Moises Rangel, a longtime Miami Lakes resident and member of the Domino Club. Father and son-in-law duo, Mike Hevia and Ramon Silverio, walked away with two gold medals and two $50 gift certificates donated b El Pimiento. Second place winners were Rolando Gutiérrez and Zenon Hernandez, and third place winners were Joshua Soto and Eric Feingold. 

“The competition was intense,” said Vice Mayor Manny Cid. “The atmosphere was similar to the World Championship Domino Tournament.”
