Royal aiming for fifth successive win

By M. Shamil Amit

The unbeaten Royal College, who have chalked up four successive will clash with St. Joseph’s College in their Inter-Schools Under-19 League Rugby Tournament encounter at Havelock Park today. The kick-off is at 4.00 p.m. 

Royal, one of the top contenders for the League title are led by Thivain Perera and they will be coming into this game with their heads high after having defeated Wesley College last week.

St. Joseph’s, led by Vishika Fernando have two wins under their belt against Kingswood College and Thurstan College and will look to bounce back after their defeat against the traditional rivals St. Peter’s College last week.

But the Royalists have the edge and are favoured to chalk up their fifth win and the Josephians will need to do something extraordinary if they are to prevent their opponents from coming out on top.
