Isipathana College are bracing for a tough showdown as they travel upcountry to face Kingswood College at Bogambara Stadium tomorrow afternoon. The match is scheduled to kick off at 4.00 p.m., with a large crowd expected to fill the stands for what promises to be a fiercely-contested encounter in the Schools Rugby League 2025.
The Green Machine secured a hard-fought win over Mahanama College in their season opener, but there’s still room for improvement as they prepare for their most rigorous challenge yet. Captain Thrinethra Dodangoda is expected to lead by example, while vice-captain Shaakib Zumri and scrum-half Sithupa Bometh will play key roles in strengthening their attack.
Meanwhile, Kingswood will be eager to redeem themselves after falling just a point short against S. Thomas’ College last week. Led by their captain Thavisha Ekanayake, Kingswood boast a well-rounded team featuring the likes of Riven Shasen, Sadew Amarasooriya, Akila Dilshan, and Sachintha Samantha, all poised to make a significant contribution in their quest for their first win of the season.
Ishanka Abeykoon will take charge of the match as the referee.
