Unbeaten Colombo South outfit led by Royal’s Thevindu Wewelwala are in a strong position to win the Prima Under-15 Super League Cricket Tournament when they take on Colombo North, led by Wesley College player Lithum Senuja at the Mercantile Cricket Association (MCA) Grounds in Colombo today.  


In fact, majority of the Colombo South outfit is from Royal College and they looked poised to pull it off.  


Meanwhile Colombo North with two players each from St. Joseph’s College and Isipathana College are the dark horse of the tournament.  


Colombo South won all four matches, accumulating 11 points while second-placed Colombo North ended with seven points. Galle narrowly missed out the final by collecting only six points from their four games.  


Though much was expected from Kandy they too were below their usual standards being inconsistent and ending in fourth place with four points while Dambulla did not trouble the scorers at all as they did not earn any points.  


Prima is sponsoring this event for a record 16th year.
