The final week of January witnessed the completion of 14 games in the Singer U19 Division II Cricket tournament, with 6 of them producing results.
The most successful team of the week was Vidyartha College, Kandy, who won 2 out of the 11 tournament games played. They defeated Kingswood College and St. Peter’s College, Negombo in Kandy and Nuwara Eliya respectively, as their wins were evenly contributed by most of their players. However, their star all-rounder Medunaka Wijethilaka’s 7 wickets in the 2nd innings against St. Peter’s stood out.

Weerasekara of Kingswood also picked up a match bag of 10 wickets, despite their loss to Vidyartha.
Piumika Madawaththe’s 10 wicket including 7 in the 1st innings was instrumental in Dharmaloka’s first innings win over Lyceum International School, Wattala. Helanka Viduranga, however, was the star in this game as his century helped his team chase down the 305 runs scored by the opposition.
