The interschool league match played at Havelock Park saw a robust Anthonian line which penetrated the defense with some slick three-quarter moves. They lead the game 19-07 at half time.<img src="http://www.thepapare.com/images/stories/big%20boy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The tabled was tipped in favour of the Eagles but it was Wesley College who drew first blood through their flanker Randika Tillekeratne who went over with full back Akram Assan adding the extra points. Anthonians after a string of good attacking moves scored 10 minutes later through Roshan Roche to level the score with the conversion.After a short while the Anthonians put in some tactful three-quarter moves which gave way for center Dhanushka Ariyapala to score on the left hand side of the post and Sooriyabandara made no mistake with the conversion making it 14-07. Ariyapala showed a lot of skills which saw him penetrating the defense which ultimately gave him his second try of the match. At the short breather the Eagles lead the game 19-07.The second half saw a completely different Anthonian side which meant nothing but business. The second half saw as many as 32 points being scored by the Anthonians to the 5 points of Wesley. Surprisingly for the second time of the match it was Wesley College who made the initial scoring through Akram Assan who barged his way over off a five meter scrum. This was the only form of scoring for the Wesleyites for the rest of the match as they were mere spectators to some brilliant moves by the Anthonians. No. 8 Sanka Rajaguru, skipper and centre Tharindu Chanaka, flanker Roshan Roche and scrum half Dinesh Liyanage went over for the Eagles in quick succession with fly half Chaminda Kumara making no mistake with the conversions. He stretched the lead with good a penalty in between the rampage. It was Wesley’s third successive defeat of the tournament after going down to the Thora and Royal in the first two weeks. On the other hand it was a fitting win for the Anthonians after a thrilling match last week against the Thomians losing just by three points (15-12). The Anthonians under Priyantha Guneratne cannot be written off since they possess a lot of depth and experience. Wesley on the other hand will have to concentrate on the matches against POW and Dharmaraja the two diminutive teams in the league if they are to survive in the top division for yet another year.</blockquote>
