Outstation schools hold sway on day two
Two outstation schools Medabedda MV and St. Anthony’s from Galewela in the Matale district dominated the proceedings on day two of the 2nd All Island Schools Handball tournament being played at St John’s College ground in Panadura.
The two schools remained unbeaten in both the boy’s and girl’s categories to advance to the semi finals. The tournament which began on Friday saw Medabedda MV and St Anthony’s winning all their matches with ease.
