HOCKEY: Seetha Devi Balika Vidyalaya, Kandy became the first winners of the All Island Schools Girls under-19 Hockey Tournament for Sisil Shield when they scored a thrilling 1-0 win over Visakha Vidaylaya Colombo in the finals of the tournament organised by the Sri Lanka Schools Hockey Association and worked off at the Nandimithra Hockey Stadium in Matale on Sunday evening.

At half time there was no scoring. It was a dour struggle for supremacy as both teams appeared to be well balanced and equal in strength. In the past it has been often found that the battle between these two leading schools produced sparkling hockey and often sparks flew.

But overall it was found a Synthesis of speed, skill and system stood pronounced in Seetha Devi Balika Vidyalaya's front line work outs with Yamuna Wijesuriya and Chathurika Wijesuriya being outstanding other hand the Visakaha stickers displayed thrust and stick work to confuse their opponents defence. It was in this light that a relentless struggle for supremacy was witness in the enclosure.

In the end it Seetha Devi Balika Vidyalaya who emerged winners when late in the second half centre half Chathurika Wijesuriya struck gold with a brilliant goal which brought her side the win and the Sisil Trophy.

This was a well organised tournament in which over 16 girls participated.
