Rajans play host to Isipathana today
S M Jiffry Abdeen - Kandy Sports Corr
Dharmaraja College will take on Isipathana College in a key schools
under 19 Division One Rugby Tournament match to be played at the
Bogambara Stadium, Kandy today, Tuesday, March 26 at 4.30 pm.
The Rajans were held to a 34 all draw by Trinity College in their
lung opener played at the Trinity College Rugby Stadium about 10 days
ago. The Rajans after a hesitant start when the Trinitians led at the
initial stages came back storming to take the lead and almost registered
a historic win before a last minute try by the lions forced a draw.
A happy Master in Charge of Rugby at Dharmaraja College Saliya
Alexander said that game had all the glitter and glamour and a very high
level of sportsmanship was displayed by both teams.
Saliya Alexander also said that the protest lodged against one of
their players was without foundation as this ruggerite got the clearance
letter from his previous school and was eligible to play and the school
had not violated any existing tournament rules.
With Kandy experiencing heavy showers and the ground is in excellent
shape and a rousing game of rugby is in store for the rugby fans. |
