Wesley College, Colombo propelled by a brilliant try scored in the dying minutes of the game by their speedy replacement, winger Kavindana Perera enable them to pull off a close 5 points (1 try) to nil win over the more fancied D.S. Senanayake College, Colombo outfit in their Singer 'A' Division inter-schools league rugby tournament first round match played at CR & FC grounds in Longden Place yesterday. The scores were nil all at the breather.
It was the Wesley forwards who paved the way for this victory. The Wesley 'eight' gave a terrific performance to outplay their opponents in the loose.
The line outs were shared between Wesley and D.S.Senanayake while in the set scrums the Wesley hooker struck a shade faster than his counterpart.
In the dying stages of the game the lads from Campbell Park snatched victory when their hero, wing three quarter Kavindana Perera picked up a loose ball and darted through for a glorious match winning try.
Fly half Murshid Zubair's conversion kick went astray much to the dismay of their supporters but Wesley College ran out worthy winners.
