Joes look for a winning start

By M. Shamil Amit

St. Joseph’s College will look for a winning start when they confront Science College, Mount Lavinia in their Under-19 Inter-Schools Rugby Tournament opening fixture at Longden Place tomorrow (28).

The Josephians who were the runners-up in the League and Knock-out Tournament and also the winners of last year’s Sevens Tournament will be led by number eight Tharindu de Alwis.

Meanwhile, Science College will be led by their number eight Sashin Munasinghe.

In fact, Science College are making a comback to the top division after a lapse of one year.

However, the Joes will start the game as hot favourites due to the fact that last year they were able to register a couple of stunning victories.
