Joes retain Lady Jayatileke Shield

St. Joseph's retained the Lady Jayatileke Challenge Shield when they beat S. Thomas' by 37 points (6 tries, 1 goal) to (3 goals and 1 try) in their Singer Under-19 Schools Rugby encounter at Longden Place yesterday. The winners led 22/14 a the breather.

In match that swung from side to side, the Joes powerful set of forwards made the difference as they dominated well supported by their back division who got the best out of the hard work done by their forwards spearheaded by their skipper and Number 8 Yohan Keyzer. The Thomians were completely rattled by the Joes heavy set of forwards and could do nothing to stop their daring advances in their territory. However, the Thomians too struck vital blows from time to time when ever the match was going beyond their reach. But their efforts were simply not enough to put the brakes to the Joes forwards play with their heavy pack.

It was the Thomians who opened scoring in the 8th minute through winger Danoj de Silva, Devin Jayasinghe added the extra points. Minutes later Joes scored off a Jason Melder push over try which went unconverted.

The Joes scored two more tries through fly half Rehan Thiyagarajah and S. Kurubulapitiya. The Thomians also struck back through Number 8 Nasheed Zainudeen and Devin Jayasinghe put over the conversion.

After the turn around the Joes forwards were at full strength and went on to plant three more tries through Jason Melder, Yohan Keyzer and Shehan de Silva. For the Thomians Devin Jayasinghe and Danoj de Silva were the other try scorers.

Referee: Gamini Indrasena.
