A tough battle on the card

Kandy Sports corr.

It is really going to be tough for the defending League champions Kingswood College when they take on the strong St. Thomas College in their schools under 20 'A' Division rugby tournament match to be played at the Bogambara stadium in Kandy today.

As matters stand the championship title is out of the grasp of the Kingswoodians as they are now lying third in the table of points having lost two matches to Royal and Isipathana, and the top contenders Royal College have won all their matches played todate. The most the Kingswoodians could do is to win this match and climb to the second spot to end up as runners up. But if they lose this game, they are likely to go down the ladder depending on the results of the matches played this weekend.

Thomians on the other hand are lying second in the table of points having lost only one match to Royal College. If they win this match, they are certain to finish as runnersup as the League tournaent is coming to an end.
