Rajans hold Joes to 3 all draw

By Aubrey Kuruppu

Faulty handling and stray passes were the norm as Dharmarajah and St. Joseph’s played out a lack-luster three all draw at Bogambara yesterday.

The second half was a slight improvement on the first as both teams tried to establish supremacy. The Rajans had a couple tries for the taking, but anxiety and nervousness in sight of the goal-line deprived them a chance of going ahead.

The Joes had a chance or two in the opening half but their efforts lacked finish.

The Rajan back division was swift and they ran well but the passing and handling were not up to the mark.

Flanker Alahakoon for the Rajans and fly half Dilshan Perera for the Joes converted the penalties. However it was the visitors who led first and the Rajans equalized shortly after. It was three all at the break.

Referee – Rohan Nishantha.
