The Royals break the St. Joseph’s winning Streak…
A decisive match of the 2022 Schools Rugby tournament was held yesterday (22). It was between the strong Royal College and St. Joseph’s College, Maradana, who were undefeated in the tournament.
However, the Royal players, who did not allow Josephs to maintain their unbeaten streak, managed to defeat the unbeaten Josephs by 17-3 points.
In the first few minutes of the match, the Joseph players showed their usual skills and started to score first. Dilhara Suhash scored the first point for the Joseph team with a penalty kick. At the same time, the Royals, who were not second to the Josephs, also started scoring. Janith Marasinghe scored the first point for the Royal College after successfully completing a try.
The Royals were in the lead in the first half as the Josephs failed to score again in the first half of the game.
The Josephs came into action in the second half but they did not get any chances from Royal’s back row to score a single try. Royal College’s Danuja Samanaratne scored a try in the 65th minute, ending Joseph’s hopes of victory. Hansaka Higgoda scored another try for the Royal College as the Royals won the match with a 17-3 defeat of the mighty Josephs. Along with that, they lost the honour of impregnability that the Josephs had.
The Royals’ 17 points included 3 tries. However, it is also special that the Josephs could not score a single try throughout the match. The man of the match was Abdul Yusuf of Royal College.
රාජකීයන් ජෝසප්වරුන්ගේ අපරාජිකත්වය බිඳ දමයි…
2022 Schools Rugby තරගාවලියේ තීරණාත්මක තරගයක් ඊයේ (22) පැවැත්විණි. ඒ ප්රබල රාජකීය විද්යාලය සහ තරගාවලිය තුළ මේතාක් අපරාජිකව සිටි මරදාන සාන්ත ජෝසප් විද්යාලය අතර ය.
කෙසේවෙතත් ජෝසප්වරුන්ට තවදුරටත් අපරාජිකත්වය රැක ගැනීමට ඉඩ නොදුන් රාජකීය ක්රීඩකයන් අපරාජික ජෝසප්වරුන්ට ලකුණු 17-3ක පරාජයක් අත්කර දීමට සමත්විය.
තරගයේ මුල් විනාඩි කිහිපය තුළ සිය සුපුරුදු දක්ෂතා පෙන්නුම් කළ ජෝශප් ක්රීඩකයෝ ප්රථමයෙන් ම ලකුණු රැස් කිරීමට මුල පිරූහ. ජෝශප් කණ්ඩායම වෙනුවෙන් පළමු ලකුණ රැස් කර ගත්තේ දඩුවම් පහරක් සාර්ථක කරගත් ඩිල්හාර සුහාෂ් ය. ඒ සමග ම ජෝසප්වරුන් හමුවේ නොදෙවෙනි වූ රාජකීයන් ද ලකුණු රැස් කිරීම ආරම්භ කළේ ය. රාජකීය විද්යාලය වෙනුවෙන් පළමු ලකුණ රැස්කර දුන්නේ උත්සාහක දිනුමක් සාර්ථකව අවසන් කළ ජනිත් මාරසිංහ ය.
තරගයේ ප්රථම අර්ධයේදී නැවත කිසිදු ලකුණක් වාර්තා කිරීමට ජෝසප්වරුන්ට නොහැකි වීමත් සමග ප්රථම අර්ධයේදී ඉදිරියෙන් සිටියේ රාජකීය ක්රීඩකයන් ය.
දෙවන අර්ධයේදී ජෝසප්වරුන් ක්රියාත්මක වූවත් ඔවුන්ට එක් හෝ උත්සාහක දිනුමක් වාර්තා කිරීමට රාජකීය කණ්ඩායමේ පසුපෙළ ක්රීඩකයන්ගෙන් කිසිදු අවස්ථාවක් හිමිවූයේ නැත. 65වන මිනිත්තුවේදී රාජකීය විද්යාලයේ දනුජ සමනරත්න උත්සාහක දිනුමක් වාර්තා කළේ ජෝසප්වරුන්ගේ ජයග්රාහී අපේක්ෂාවන් බිඳ දමමින් ය. රාජකීය විද්යාලය වෙනුවෙන් තවත් උත්සාහක දිනුමක් හංසක හිග්ගොඩ විසින් වාර්තා කිරීමත් සමග රාජකීයන් තරගය ජයගත්තේ ප්රබල ජෝසප්වරුන්ට 17-3ක පරාජයක් අත්කරමින් ය. ඒ සමග ජෝසප්වරුන් සතුවු අපරාජිකත්වයේ ගෞරවය ද ඔවුන්ට අහිමි විය.
රාජකීයන් රැස්කර ගත් ලකුණු 17ට උත්සාහක දිනුම් 3ක් ඇතුළත් විය. කෙසේ නමුත් ජෝසප්වරුන්ට තරගය පුරාවට ම එක් හෝ උත්සාහක දිනුමක් වාර්තා කිරීමට නොහැකි වීම ද විශේෂත්වයකි. තරගයේ වීරයා රාජකීය විද්යාලයේ අබ්දුල් යුසුෆ් ය.
செயின்ட் ஜோசப்ஸின் வெற்றிப் பயணத்தை கொழும்பு றோயல் முறியடித்தது…
2022 ஆம் ஆண்டுக்கான பாடசாலைகளுக்கான ரக்பி போட்டியின் தீர்க்கமான போட்டி நேற்று (22) நடைபெற்றது. பலம்வாய்ந்த றோயல் கல்லூரிக்கும், போட்டியில் தோல்வியடையாத மருதானை புனித ஜோசப் கல்லூரிக்கும் இடையில் இது இடம்பெற்றது.
எனினும், ஜோசப்ஸ் அணியை ஆட்டத்த்தில் சோபிக்க விடாத றோயல் வீரர்கள், ஜோசப்ஸை 17-3 என்ற புள்ளிகள் வித்தியாசத்தில் தோற்கடித்தனர்.
ஆட்டத்தின் முதல் சில நிமிடங்களில் ஜோசப் வீரர்கள் தங்களது வழக்கமான திறமைகளை வெளிப்படுத்தி முதலில் புள்ளிகள் சேகரிக்க தொடங்கினர். ஜோசப் அணிக்கு பெனால்டி உதை மூலம் தில்ஹாரா சுஹாஷ் முதல் புள்ளிகளை பெற்றுக் கொடுத்தார். அதே சமயம் ஜொஸ்ப்க்கு சரி நிகராக இருக்கும் றோயல் கல்லூரி அணியும் புள்ளிகள் சேகரிக்க ஆரம்பித்தது. றோயல் கல்லூரிக்கு ஜனித் மாரசிங்க ட்ரை ஒன்றை வெற்றிகரமாக முடித்துக்கொடுத்து முதல் புள்ளியைப் பெற்றுக்கொடுத்தார்.
ஆட்டத்தின் முதல் பாதியில் ஜோசப்ஸ் அணி மீண்டும் கோல் அடிக்கத் தவறியதால், முதல் பாதியில் றோயல் அணி முன்னிலையில் இருந்தது.
ஜோசப்ஸ் இரண்டாவது பாதியில் நம்பிக்கையுடன் களமிறங்கினார், ஆனால் றோயல் கல்லூரி அணியின் பின்வரிசையை (Backrow) தாண்டி ஒரு ட்ரை கூட வைக்க அவர்களுக்கு எந்த வாய்ப்பும் கிடைக்கவில்லை. 65ஆவது நிமிடத்தில் றோயல் கல்லூரியின் தனுஜ சமனரத்ன ஒரு ட்ரை ஒன்றைப் பெற்று ஜோசப்பின் வெற்றி நம்பிக்கைக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைத்தார். றோயல் கல்லூரியின் சார்பாக ஹன்சக ஹிகொட மற்றுமொரு ட்ரை ஒன்றைப் பெற்றுக்கொடுத்ததால், றோயல்ஸ் அணி 17-3 என்ற கோல் கணக்கில் பலம் வாய்ந்த ஜோசப்ஸை வீழ்த்தி வெற்றி பெற்றது. அதனுடன், ஜோசப்களுக்கு இருந்த தோற்கடிக்கப்படாத முடியாத சாதனையை அவர்கள் இழந்தனர்.
றோயல் 17 புள்ளிகளில் 3 முயற்சிகளும் அடங்கும். எனினும் போட்டி முழுவதும் ஜோசப் அணியால் ஒரு ட்ரை கூட எடுக்க முடியவில்லை என்பதும் சிறப்பு. போட்டியின் நாயகனாக ரோயல் கல்லூரியின் அப்துல் யூசுப் தெரிவானார்.
