Trinity College bounced back strongly in the later half to beat Katugastota Antonians by 35 points (seven tries) to 10 points (one try, one conversion, one penalty) at their Pallekelle Rugby Stadium yesterday.

At the short breather, Antonians led 10/5.

It was a tale of two halves where the visitors stood out in the earlier and the home team bounced back in grand style touching down six unanswered tries in the later half. Antonians skipper Mohamed Makarim had a grand outing leading from the front and Tharusha Ekanayake too was class act.

For Trinity, skipper Reshan Bandaranayake was omnipresent as he had an outstanding game along with Amith Kulatunge and Nimesha Ekanayake.
