St. Peter’s College won the Cup Championship of the WPRFU Inter-Schools under-16 15-a-side rugby tournament organized by Western Province Rugby Football Union (WPRFU) when they edged out Mahanama College Colombo three points (a penalty) to nil in the final played at Havelock Park yesterday after trailing by 3 points to nil at halftime.

Despite the heavy rain and thundering , the two teams were struggling hard to give their rivals a fierce challenge.

Sandesh Jayawickrama fired across a penalty making a 3-0 lead for Peterites.

Though Mahanama strived hard, they couldn’t make headway.

It was the Peterite forwards and threes who equally contributed towards their victory.

Meanwhile, Wesley College Colombo clinched the Plate Championship when they beat Lumbini Maha Vidyalaya Colombo in an easy 15 points (one goal, one try and one penalty) to nil in the final.

The main draw back in the final was the heavy showers and thundering which resulted in lack of scoring.
