Vidyartha College concluded their rugby season with a victory against Ananda College at the Bogambara stadium yesterday to win the 51st battle for the William Goppallawa Shield by 38 points to 24.
Both sides played well and moved the ball but overall the Anandians were out played by Vidyartha in front of a good crowd.
Vidyartha having the home advantage played with plenty of confidence especially in loose play.
The platform for their win was laid by a ferocious display by the forwards while their back division also impressed with straight aggressive running.
