Nugawella Central had to ward of a serious challenge from Sri Rahula College before earning a wafer thin 25 (2 Goals, 1 Try and 2 Penalties) to 18 (1 goal, 1 try and 2 penalties) victory, despite playing to their best from this season, in an exciting inter school first round rugby match at the Trinity College grounds at Pallekelle.
At half time the losers Sri Rahula led 10-08. The winners were kept on their toes by a fighting Rahula outfit, they had all the chance of pulling the game if they had used the ball in the proper way like what they did in the first half to lead.
Referee – Priyantha Gunarthne.
