St. Anthony`s after being beaten neck and crop by Isipathana last week came back with vengeance when they pulled of the first shock of the new Division 1A inter-school rugby season which got off yesterday with a nerve breaking 15 points (one goal, one try, one penalty) to 7 (one goal) win over three time inter-schools rugby champions Kingswood who are also the defending champions in their match played at Nittawela yesterday.
It was a try scored by centre Wijesiri Hapugastenna who converted it himself ten minutes before the end that sealed the win for the Antonians who led eight nil at the breather through an unconverted try from fly half Krishantha Rajapakse and a penalty booted over by Krishantha Hapugastenne. Though the Kingswoodians came close from a converted try by hooker Chanaka Perera, they did not have the ammunition to fight the strong Antonians who held on to earn a well deserved win.
Thomians humble Anadians 22-3
S. Thomas` after their shock defeat to Trinity last weekend struck back to humble Ananda by 22 points (three goals, one try) to 3 in their opening match of the Division 1A inter-school rugby league match played at Longden Place yesterday. The winners led 17-0 at the breather.
Second row Rohitha Rajapaksa , winger Suresh Samarasinghe, scrum half Thivanka Bulankulame and fly half Sanka Tennekoon scored the tries for the Thomians with Sadeve Dharmadasa converting one while full back Amitha Nuwan put over the drop kick for the Anandians.

It was a flying start for the Isipathana when they opened their campaign of the Division 1B inter-school rugby league season when they drubbed the hapless Science College Mt Lavinia 73-0 in the match played at Havelock Park yesterday.
It was a one sided affair with the Isipathanians having led 29-0 at half time earning their points through nine tries and four goals.
The try scorers for the winners were centre Damith Udayanga, second rows Chulan Nanayakkara and Dimuthu Tharaka one each. Prop forward Kalpa Rajaguru, wing three Dinesh Chaturanga and centre Ashan de Costa two each. Wing three Kasun Gamage, flanker and flanker Pradeep Kumara scored three tries with full back Reza Mubarak converting three and Varuna Grero converting one.-MSA
