The postponed 101st Battle of the Blues between Trinity College and St. Anthony’s College will take place on March 16 and 17 at the Asgiriya Stadium.
For these two schools there are no games bigger than this clash. St. Anthony’s and Trinity are the two of the oldest colleges and this encounter is also the sixth oldest Big Match in Sri Lanka. This season both schools are evenly balanced with good records going into this match. Trinity have been in good form so far, without losing a game, they have won six. St. Anthony’s who lost to St. Peter’s College have won nine matches. Meanwhile the 60th Battle of the Babes between St. Sylvester’s College and Vidyartha College will be played on March 16 and 17 at the Pallekelle Stadium.
The talk in Kandy is can Vidyartha break the 51-year-old hoodoo? They last won in 1967 under R.M. Lafir, the famous cricketer who played for Government Services. This match was not played for about eight years, in the 1970s, because of a misunderstanding.
