Kalutara BV in final-rounds

NETBALL: Kalutara Balika Vidyalaya netballers did well to reach the final round of all age categories under-12, under-14, under-16 and under-18 at the postponed Milo All-Island Schools Netball Tournament played at Royal College grounds yesterday.

This tournament was earlier due to be played on October 6, 7 and 8 in Ratnapura, but due to bad weather the organisers and sponsors decided to hold it in Colombo.

Yesterday the rain was the spoiler and the games were not worked off to schedule and the teams were seen playing in mud and water.

It should have been better if they have played this tournament at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium.

The matches will be continued today from 8 a.m.
