Thomas' College will be hoping to redeem some of their lost prestige when they scrum down with Kingswood College Kandy in their Singer inter school under 20 Division One 'Group A' league rugby tournament match at Mount Lavinia today.The Thomians are still recovering following last week's 10-15 shock defeat which they suffered at the hands of Trinity College at the Bogambara Stadium.In contrast Kingswood College will take the field with a great amount of confidence after having routed their home town rivals Vidyartha College by a huge margin of 67 points to nil in their previous outing.This annual fixture will also turn out to be a contest between the Ibrahim brothers Ronnie and Niloufer who will be in charge of S. Thomas' College and Kingswood College respectively.The match will no doubt be an emotional affair for Ronnie Ibrahim who had a successful schools rugby career at Kingswood College where he represented the team with distinction as a fly half and later functioned as the coach of his alma mater from 2003 to 2006.This time his opposite number will be his youngest brother Niloufer Ibrahim who has shifted from Dharmaraja College to his former school Kingswood College from this season. Ronnie and Niloufer of course never played together for Kingswood but they are certain to unleash the same tactics in their attempt to win the match.In fact Kingswood College have brought in three new faces and have also made a couple of positional changes following their setback against the defending champions St. Peter's College two week's ago.Second row forward Chetiya Wadugodapitiya, scrum half Mohamed Apsal and Winger Prabath Jayalath are the new players who will make their maiden appearance in today's vital game.S. Thomas' College will field the same team but their coach Ronnie Ibrahim is expecting an improved performance after some vital mistakes cost them last week's match against Trinity College.The two teams are locked with 13 points each with three victories and are quite aware that another defeat would completely dash their hopes of making any further progress in the tournament. The teams:S. Thomas': Rajindra Gunasekera, Janith Jayasuriya, Amrith Anrado, Bevan Hallock, Ramesh Perera, Jeewaka Hewawitharana, Tariq Jayasuriya, Rohitha Rajapaksa (captain), Manjith Amangama and Dinuka Ranasinghe, Shaveen Kapuwatte, Niluk Wickrematilleke, Heshan Gunaratne, Sumith Kalupatina, Jeromy Fernando.Kingswood: Harindra Dharmawardena, Mohamed Iswan, Uchitha Jayasundera, Chetiya Wadugodapitiya, Rajitha Abeykoon, Himal Dhanaratne, Nuwan Dharshana, Gayan Rathnage (captain), Mohamed Apsal and Roshan Weeraratne, Chamindu Bandara, Kasun Wijesuriya, Eranda Ranaweera, Prabath Jayalath, Rajitha Sansoni.</blockquote>
