S.M. Jiffrey Abdeen - Kandy Sports Corr.

Trinity College coasted to their second outright win for the season when they defeated Sri Sumangala College, Panadura by an innings and 134 runs in their schools under 19 cricket tournament match played at the Asgiriya Stadium, Kandy yesterday.

This second outright win by the Trinitians should in a way silence the critics who have been under rating this Trinity side.

In securing this win the Trinitians had the support of the weather gods who given a little fright on Trinitians with a very thin drizzle in the stadium when the Sumangalaians were struggling at 76 for 6.

But by strange circumstance it was pouring cats and dogs at Katugastota which is just about two kilometers away as the crow flies. It rained for two hours.

Trinitians made 309 for 4 wickets declared. Sri Sumangala College replied with 95 all out.

Following on 214 runs behind Sri Sumganla College fared disastrously to be dismissed for 80 shortly after lunch.

Left-arm spinner Lakshan Jayasinghe had the fine figures of 5 for 25 to return the fine match figures of 9 for 38 and has now captured 65 wickets for the season.

Trinity College: 309 for 4 decl.

Sri Sumangala College: 95 all out And 80 all out in 37.5 overs (V.P. De Silva 30, G.S. Amerasinghe 20, Lakshan Jayasinghe 5 for 25, Ravin Sayen 3 for 15, Charitha Sudaraka 2 for 11.
