Trinity deprived by rain

View(s):

Trinity College were deprived of a probable outright win by rain and gloomy conditions at Asgiriya on the second day of their Schools Under-19 Division I match against Moratu Vidyalaya yesterday. The match was called off without a ball being bowled on the second day. Amrith Sri Mahan and Ravin Sayer (5 for 10 and 3 for 12 respectively) bowled out the visitors for 38. Trinity replied with 13 for 1 in three overs possible in their innings.

Moratu Vidyalaya 38 all out in 23.1 overs (Chanaka Madushan 13, Amrit Sri Mahan 5 for 10, Ravin Sayer 3 for 12)
Trinity 13 for 1 wicket in 3 overs at close (Madhawa Manuweera 11, Pathum Madura 1 for 4)

Rajans settle for a draw

Dharmaraja College had to be satisfied with a no-decision in their traditional opening Schools Under-19 cricket fixture against St. Thomas’ College Matale at Lake View. Only two hours of play was possible on the first day and nothing at all on day two.
The Matale lads were struggling at 60 for 6 against the pace cum spin combination of Rajitha Lahiru (3 for 18) and skipper Deneth Lanka (2 for 19). Thirty overs were bowled before the rain.

Saved by the rain!

Saved by the rain! That was a case of Lady Luck smiling on them. The Schools Under-17 Division I cricket match played between Royal College and St. Anthony’s College Katugastota played at the Welagedara Stadium in Kurunegala ended after 35 overs.

In that time, Royal’s left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya in a near error-free performance had cleaned up four victims in his quota of ten overs at a cost of 12 runs.

Kavindu Yapa Bandara, the Antonian number three, was the stumbling block, as he stood firm to score 31 not out. The match will be replayed on Monday or Wednesday.

St. Anthony’s 65 for 8 wickets in 35 overs (K. Yapa Bandara 31n.o, K. Ukgalpaya 18, L. Embuleniya 4 for12) vs Royal
