Trinity Under-17 unbeaten in Div I
View(s):Trinity’s under 17 cricketers maintained a perfect record by winning all four matches in the second round of the Under 17 Division One tournament. They have entered the quarter-finals.
Their performance is more creditable because two of their matches were played on matting pitches at Ambalangoda and Ratgama. Non-turf pitches, it must be said, are not their favourite surface.
Skipper Sanogeeth Shanmuganathan has certainly led from the front with some very consistent efforts with the bat. All-rounder Hasitha Boyagoda has supplied with plenty of runs and his off-spin has shared many a batsmen. Left arm pacie Rashmika Dilshan has invariably produced the goods. Sangeeth has scored around 730 runs in the tournament so far, while Dilshan has accounted for 33 victims.
