A brilliant reverse stick goal by skipper Yusuf Shihar and two late goals by centre forward Kithmina Ratnatyake helped Royal College, Colombo to beat Kingswood College, Kandy in their annual hockey encounter played for Lennie de Silva trophy held in Peradeniya University ground last Sunday.
-
The Reid Avenue team won the trophy for the first time since 2019.
Both the teams played brilliant hockey from the start, bur Royal skipper and left half Yusuf penetrated the Kingswood's territory and scored a reverse stick goal in the 12th minute of the game.
The host Kingswood fought hard and won many penalty corners in the first half, but Royal defence led by Vice Captain Aathif Faleel along with Ruvi Perera thwarted all the opportunities the Kandy school had.
Royal led by 1-0 at the half time.
Until the last quarter, the game was evenly poised with Kingswood stepping up its attack.
