Final scored 44-05Match week twoSPC vs. TCKPOW vs. DharmarajaThomians Come Back After First Half ScareS.Thomas’ College was given a huge scare in their opening match against a spirited Wesley side in their interschool match played at Mount Lavinia. The Wesleyites were leading after the short whistle five points to nil.   The Wesleyites showcased some fantastic rugby in the first half to get on top of the Thomians in a muddy affair at Mount Lavinia. Wesley skipper Azmil Omar had a brilliant outing in attack and was all over the Thomians in defense. His tactical kicks proved to be too much to take for the Thomians backs and the Wesleyites kept on chipping the ball in to the Thomian territory.  The Thomians back three lacked conviction in their play and paid heavily for it. The experienced Wesley skipper tested the Thomian back three with some brilliant chips.Last year’s Thomian skipper Shaveen Kapuwatte had an exceptional game in attack and defense and easily stood out from the rest of the players. He bought in all his experience to lead the experienced line after the initial hiccup. The Thomians didn’t look at all organized and were given a torrid time by the Wesley backs. Thora hooker Anjula de Silva had an outstanding game and played a key role in the break downs and also taking the ball up front.Nothing can be taken away from the Wesleyites and they are certainly a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. They played with a lot of guts and put on some impressive moves in front of a packed house in Mount.Final score 29-5 in favor of the Thomians.Thora plays St.Anthonys on the 29thWesley will play Royal on the 30th Kings beat Antho in their openerOne of the top competitors for the league championship Kingswood College won their opener against a tough Eagles unit 23 points to 10. The game started off at 5.10 and the second half was played in bad light. The late start was due to heavy showers which were experienced in the afternoon and because of this the junior games were called off.The Anthonians played a hard game but failed to put points on the board. The only try of the match for the Anthonian came from lock Mohammed Laheer. The Kingswoodians skipper did not have the best of days with the boot but made some great runs during the match. He joined the line well in attack and scored in the 16th minute and put the visitors up at lemons 8-5.The link man for the Kings was in top form during the match as he scored two brilliant tries in the second half. To finish things off it was senior third row forward Chethiya Wadugodapitiya who went over. It was not the best of matches for the Kings as they rarely got in to their stride, but fortunately they made maximum use of the limited opportunities. Anthonians on the other hand who enjoyed a lot of possession didn’t make it count and that cost them dearly.Kingswood will play Isipathana on the 30thSt.Anthonys will play S.Thomas’ on the 29th   Royal in convincing win against POWThe Royal team displayed some brilliant rugby to power over minnows POW in their match played at the Royal sports complex on Saturday. They managed to put on a thumping 35 points to 6 and they dominated the entire match.As predicted the Royal team went in as favorites and they simply outclassed a helpless Prince of Wales side. Most of the match the Reid Avenue boys were seen in the opposition half and they staged wave after wave of attack at the Moratu boys. After spending a considerable time in the opposition half it was Lahiru Pavithra who opened the scoring through a brilliant try after that star wing three quarter burst through for another super try. just at the stroke of half time another moment of brilliance was witnessed through Thilina Ratnayake.The second half as predicted once again the Royal team displayed their dominance and they kept on scoring. The POW defense tried valiantly to put a stop to the continuous attacks but they failed. Wing three quarter Dilshan Palihakkara went over for another super try and extended the lead. The final blow was given when Chamara Dhabare went over for another fantastic try which was followed by Chilanga Samaraweera. The passing and continuity improved in the second half but the wet conditions limited both teams from playing running rugby. It was a solid performance by the Reid Avenue boys and they will go strong for their next fixture against Wesley which will also be worked off at the Royal Sports complex.Royal will be playing Wesley on the 30thPOW will be playing Dharmaraja on the 30th</blockquote>
