mahanama beat ananda 26-24
It was an exciting game where the lead was fluctuating between the 2 teams at regular intervals.
Mahanama drew first blood when Chathura Shanaka scored a try. Mithun Shamen and Sahan Umagiliya scored the other tries for Mahanama College. Thusith Fonseka, Niresh Chathuranga (2 tries), Ishan Samith for Ananda.
Mahanama led 14-10 at the breather.
Ananda should have pulled out a victory over here if Anuradha Mapatuna had converted the penalty right in front of the post in the dying stages of the game.
Mahanama: 3 goals, 1 try
Ananda: 2 goals, 2 tries

Trinity who are unbeaten so far with four wins out of four and defending champions St Peter’s will clash in a crucial game of the Singer Division 1A inter-school rugby tournament at Pallekelle today with the kick at 4.30 p.m.
This will be an acid test for the two teams as Trinity will go all out to maintain their unbeaten record and make a stronger claim in their quest for the 2008 league title while St. Peter’s will go all out to tarnish their opponents record and look forward to retain the title for the third year.
Looking back at the performances of the two teams since the league tournament began last month, Trinity though beginning their campaign on a successful note with a win over Isipathana in the first game (whom they beat 29-10) the matches they played thereafter have not been that easy for the Kandy lads.
Apart from the 60-09 win against Vidyartha they just managed to scrape through in defeating S. Thomas’ 15-10 and St. Anthony’s 25-24 of which both were achieved in the dying stages. So in today’s game they will be confronting a side which has been the schools league champs for the last two years and the Lions cannot afford to make mistakes like they made in the previous encounters as the Petes will coming into the game hell bent on gaining their lost prestige.
The Peterites on the other hand though they started off the season with a bang defeating Dharmarajah 46-0 met their Waterloo in the next match at the hands of S. Thomas’. But since then it seems that they have settled down and remedied their mistakes and now are playing the way that is expected from them.
Since that defeat to S. Thomas’ the Petes have gone on to record three successive wins against Kingswood 15-07, St. Anthony’s 13-03 and Vidyartha 77-03. As mentioned earlier this game is going to be very crucial to both the sides as St. Peter’s have accumulated 170 points from five matches while Trinity, though playing a game less, has only 129 points to the credit.
A defeat for either is going to spell doom for the rest of the season. With Kingswood right behind these two teams it’s going to be tough for them and another factor is that Trinity has yet to play Kingswood with whom they will clash in the last league encounter during the third week of June.
In conclusion the two teams are aware of the importance of this game but provided the game is incident free, this match is definitely going to be a blockbuster, so keep your fingers crossed and the ultimate winner is not going to be that easy to predict.
Dharmraja vs Vidyartha
There is another match of the same tournament down for decision today which is also played in Kandy between wooden spoonists Dharmarajah and Vidyartha at Nittawela. This will be of no significance at all as it will be a consolation for whoever wins the game but the scale is in favour of the Rajans.
Wesley vs POW
Wesley will lock horns with Prince of Wales in a Singer Division 1B inter-school rugby encounter at Longden Place today. Wesley with four wins from five matches are favoured to pull off the game as they are also in contention for the Division 1B title along with St. Joseph’s and Mahanama.
The Cambrians on the other hand created a major upset last week when they defeated fancied Ananda and will be looking forward for a repeat of that performance. But the Wesleyites are a much tougher opposition and they will have pull out all their resources if they are to achieve that.

The Sri Lanka Schools Rugby Association (SLSRA) has been instructed by the Education Ministry to take action that may be deemed necessary against Isipathana College for fielding an illegitimate player against Dharmaraja in their inter-school rugby match played in Kandy last week.
The player has been identified as K. A. D. Sajith Saranga by the Education Ministry in its letter to the the SLSRA.
Before the match Dharmaraja protested over the presence of three players whom they claimed were illegitimate but after an investigation by the Education Ministry it was discovered that only one player, Saranga, had violated the rules.
Saranga according to the Education Ministry’s director of physical education and sports L. K. Jayaweera had failed his exam and was not eligible to be in school or part of its rugby team.
Interestingly the head of the SLSRA K. A. D. Punydasa is also the Principal of Isipathana.
In 1991 Isipathana were suspended from the schools rugby championship for fielding an illegitimate player.
