St. Aloysius Ratnapura dazzle
A determined skilful hundred by Sri Rahula's vice captain Vindika Prasanna was of no avail as St. Aloysius, Ratnapura made a good reply and managed to overtake their opponent's total off the last ball of the match in the Elephant Lemonade Trophy schools cricket match which ended in a draw.
