Duple drub in Colombo shifts Rugby Monarchy to Kandy

THE fall of two more undefeated Superpowers from the Capital, shifts the Kingdom of Schools Rugby to the Hills, at least momentarily.
THE fall of two more undefeated Superpowers from the Capital, shifts the Kingdom of Schools Rugby to the Hills, at least momentarily. On a frantic Saturday, when the Rugby Fanatics of Sri Lanka wished that they could multiply themselves to be at several Venues at the same time, so that they don't miss the occasional or rare experience of catching the spectacular action, live with its associated ambience, 9 Venues in Colomo and Kandy were in full dazzle and razzle mode, kicking off the first week in the Second Round of the Dialog Schools Rugby League 2025.
S. Thomas' hosting Trinity - 19 July:
The Lions came roaring down from the Hills to savour and relish the culinary delights of a pulped King Mackerel by the Sea, by superseding and overpowering the Thomians in every possible department of the game, to the utter dismay of the gritty Thomians restricted to the Pavilions, who could only look on helplessly in disbelief. As for the neutral rugby enthusiasts, there were plenty of "Yay!" moments to cheer on the visitors, significantly more than the home team.
The Thomians started off proceedings in the most unimpressive fashion, since their League game for the Canon R.S. De Saram Shield of yesteryear, portraying shortfall in fluidity and lapse in some key skills that continued until most part of the initial half, allowing the visitors to dominate and pulverise the hosts to a point of no redemption. Thereafter, no amount of rekindled self-realisation, or pep talks offered during the break was sufficient to restore the lost confidence, and the usual flow of the Thomian game that had earlier placed the dreams of the fraternity on a Pedestal.
