At half time the Peterites led 17-3.Vidyartha College did well to hold the strong Peterites to a comparatively small lead in the initial half. In fact it was Vidyartha who opened scoring in the third minute of play through a penalty fired by fly half Tharaka Dissanayake but thereafter failed to score but allowed their opponents to run up 77 points.In fact the flood gates were opened in the second as the Peterites piled up 60 points through some effortless tries. Five of them were over 45 metre runs and two of them covered over 60 metres by winger Gerald Canute and centre Dilshan Paul.Vidyartha College put up a Pathetic display as they failed to keep a tag on their opponents who punched huge holes in their defence. At times they looked like passengers and did not try to stop their opponents from scoring. In fact the last 20 minutes of play produced 45 points.To add to their misery six of Vidyartha players limped off the field due to injuries and the junior ruggerites who replaced them could not cope with the pressure exerted by the Peterites especially in the second half.This score of 77 by the Peterites is the highest so far this season beating the 67-0 by Kingswood College against Vidyartha College last Sunday.Try scores for the Peterites were winger Gerald Canute (3 tries), No. 8 Ishan Noor (3 tries), centre Dilshan Paul (2 tries), winger Rishitha Peiris (2 tries), centre Keith Gurusinghe (1 try), prop Roshan Fonseka (1 try).Fly half Harsha Weerakkody goalled 6 tries and put over the penalty and the other try was converted by centre Keith Gurusinghe.
