Replay – Sri Lanka Super 7s Day 2

The SLT Eagles got off to a dream start with Setafano Cackau crossing over but intercepting the Eagles ball was Arshad Jamaldeen, and Jason Dissanayake touched down for the equalizer. The Eagles later scored but found themselves once again level with a try from Luke Maserewa.

With play going to the final phase, it was Tarinda Ratwatte who broke the line of defense to take SLT Eagles to the title. Dulaj Perera’s nippy back heel conversion saw the Eagles winning the cup title in the first leg 21-14.

The Cargills Gladiators who lost to SLT Eagles in the Cup semifinal by a meager 02 points saw them winning the Plate title defeating the EZY Wolves 28-7. EZY Wolves who were the front-runners of the competition during the first day, could not deliver when it came to the crucial stages.

Text Commentary – Day 2

Getting the exit from the cup championship race, the Walkers CML Vipers found fortune on the second day when they ended up winning the shield title defeating the Access Kings 22-7. Walkers CML had the worse day yesterday and had to be content with a shield title. Access Kings however, did not live up to expectation the entire tournament as they failed to win a single game.

St. Peter’s steal the schools title

It was a gathering of the saints in the finals as traditional rivals St. Peter’s College and St. Joseph’s College met in the School Cup finals. With Theekshana Dassanayake crossing over for four tries, the Josephians replied with two consolation tries through the efforts of Tharindu De Alwis. The Theekshana Dassanayake try-gala earned in for the Peterites as they clinched 31-12 win to take the first leg honors in the school segment.

St. Joseph’s efforts were quite admirable in the tournament as they got themselves into the finals defeating the heavyweights Isipathana College 21-19. Chathura Senevirathne’s last minute try for St. Joseph’s against the Green Machine gave his team the ticket to the finals and the Josephians should be quite content with their performance.

Isipathana went on to defeat Wesley College 29-00 to take the Plate final honors in the 1st leg while Zahira College bulldozed D. S. Senanayake College 29-05 to secure the Bowl title. Zahira managed to get their ticket to the Bowl finals defeating S. Thomas’ 17-12 in a thrilling Bowl semi-final.

S. Thomas’ didn’t have a good 1st leg but their 31- 5 Shield final win against Prince of Wales should liven up the spirits of the Naveen Henakankanamage’s Thomian clan for the next week’s action.

The final list of the rankings and results will be updated soon.
