Trinity, Peters, Isipathana and Kingswood dictate terms on day one (All Island 7's)

March 5th, 2011

The all-island rugby football sevens tournament which is organized by the Sri Lanka schools rugby football association got underway today with Trinity, Peters, Isipathana and Kingswood taking major honors at the end of day one.

Trinity College and St. Peters in particular had some big performances against some of the mediocre teams with both teams accumulating 84 points in two matches played during the group stages. Kingswood on the other hand recorded the highest score for the day when they beat Zahira College 52 points to nil. Isipathana College who were probably the best sevens team in display, showcased their usual brilliance beating Lalith Athulathmudali and Vidyartha by 40 and 38 respectively while also maintaining a clean sheet in defense.

Prince of Wales College was the brave minnows as they stood tall ending up at the cup quarters beating the likes of Maliyadeva and Royal College Colombo which fielded a junior team. Dharmaraja the dark horse in the cup segment used their heavy players to good effect beating S.Thomas’ College Mt, and D.S Senanayake in the first round.

Day two will start with a cracker match with St. Peters College taking on Isipathana College in the first cup quarters at 8.20 am.
