Joseph’s College scored a close 26 points (3 goals, 1 try) to 22 points (2 goals, 1 try, 1 penalty) win over Kingswood College in their Singer League Under-19 rugby encounter which was worked off at Havelock Park yesterday (20 April).

Joes led 19/12 at the short breather and will very likely occupy number 2 position in their group while the Randles Hill School may likely take the number 3 position.Referee Rohan Fernando

Isipathana 22 points

Wesley 17 points

Isipathana College edged out Wesley College by 22 Points (2 goals, 1 try, 1 penalty) to 17 points (2 goals, 1 penalty) at Longdon Place yesterday in their Singer League Under-19 rugby encounter.

At the short breather, Isipathana led 22 to nothing. All through the second half, the scoring of 17 points was done by Wesley who kept on attacking near the Isipathana try line, but was unable to break through with Isipathana defending well.Referee Priya Suranga
