Late drop goal seals win
A last minute drop goal by Samuel Maduwantha helped St. Anthony's
College beat Wesley College by 23 points (2 tries, 2 conversions, 2
penalties, 1 drop goal) to 22 (3 tries, 2 conversions, 1 penalty) in
their inter-school division I 'Cup' second round match played at
Nittawela yesterday. At half time Wesley led 19-13.
The victory was a well earned one for the Antonians. The game began
with exchanges even and Wesley looking very dangerous. They led till the
last minute and it should have been their game but luck was not with
them.
Wesley settled down to play some heady rugby and exploited the
Antonians' mistakes.
They constantly stormed into the Antonian territory and had their
defenders on their toes.
