The match was almost even after 60 minutes of play with Trinity College building up a 17-10 lead with an additional try shortly after the interval. However thereafter the game turned into a one sided contest with a fierce late rally from the visitors.
Trinity College really showed their class during the last ten minutes of play while crossing their opponent’s goal line on three occasions to complete a convincing victory.
Winger Mohamed Shehan had another fantastic game for the visitors with three tries while prop forward Bhasu Karunatilleke, fly half Rehan Weerakoon and winger Thisila Karunatilleke scored a try each.
The star player Danushka Ranjan was starving in the line as the Peterite could not win most of the scrums and line outs. Trinitians outplayed the home side completely and performed some high class rugby.
