The competition for the Platinum contest for schools playing in the

Abeysekera has taken over the first place lead with 35,077 votes this
week at the end of the 14th week’s count in the Sunday Observer/Mobitel

There were no changes in the division 11 schools for the ‘Gold’ with
Yamal Siriwardena of St. John’s, Nugegoda maintaining the lead (29,903),
Cheruka Herath (Sri Sumangala, Panadura) (29,716) and Sakumda de Silva
