D. S. Senanayake hold edge over Kingswood

By M. Shamil Amit
Five matches of the Dialog School Rugby league tournament are down for decision this weekend in Colombo with one scheduled to be kicked off today, between D. S. Senanayake College and Kingswood College to be played at Havelock Park with the others slotted to be played tomorrow.

DSS led by Jayathu Rajaratne though losing to Isipathana College last week will come out as the favoured side having two wins under their belt.
Kingswood led by Imanka Ishara has so far suffered three defeats and are yet to see the winning post as they will be aiming to chalk up their first win which no doubt is going to be a daunting task as their opponents though coming back into the top division has so far performed with success.

Ofcourse DSS came in as the underdogs against Isipathana in their previous match but they gave the Pathanians some anxious moments.
On the other hand Kingswood College went down meekly to Isipathana and also has also lost heavily to S. Thomas’ College and St. Joseph’s College.
DSS will pin their hopes on skipper Rajaratne who has been in top form and he will be expecting the support from Shehanda Umagiliyage, Janidu Wijeratne, Manura Peiris  and Menura Perera.

The Teams:
DSS – Jayathu Rajaratne (Captain), Chenitha Sanchith, Mohamed Aahil, Omika Lison, Navinda Hettiarachchi, Shamal Maleesha, Chamod Dewmith, Osman, Wafa, Thiven Perera, Manura Peiris, Sehanda Umagiliyage, Sandaru Lokuge, Samod Madusanka, Janindu Wijeratne, Menura Perera, Sahas Balasooriya, Yasavi Rathnasiri, Dithira Edirisooriya, Kaveesha Hikkaduwage, Praveem Dilakshan, Thatheera Dahamdiv, Nadil Paranaman
