The defending Boys Age Group champs are Trinity College while the winners in the Novices category are Dharmaraja College. Unfortunately the Trinitians will not participate at this year’s event.
In the girls segment, both categories will be defended by Mahamaya Girls’ College, who have won the Age Group Championship from its inception will be a tough team to be beat this year as well.
