Colombo University fancied to repeat last year's success by Leslie Fernando Depending champions University of Colombo and University of Moratuwa oarsmen and oarswomen are hard at training on the Beira Waters in preparation for the 22nd annual Inter-University Regatta to be held on July 29 starting at 1.30 p.m. The University of Colombo will host the event.

They carried away the Prof. Stanley Wijesundara Challenge Trophy. The University of Colombo ladies also fared prominently, winning 3 events of the 4 including the Fours event. The points tally: University of Colombo 20, University of Moratuwa 2 points. The UOC were awarded the Lloyd Sirimanne Challenge Trophy.
