Ananda make short work of Trinity
Ananda whipped Trinity by an innings and 36 runs in their inter school match at Asgiriya yesterday.

Trinity threw the match away with some feeble, weak-kneed batting. A couple of horrible shots from the front liners could not be condoned.

Ananda's triumph was built around the efforts of Charith Jayaweera (fast medium) and Achela Ranasinghe (left arm spin). Opener Boteju took 242 balls to come up with a batting 91, while in form skipper Mahela Udawatte was more fluent in making 67.

Trinity - 102-9 decl in 40.1 overs (D. Gangoda 16, S. Pathirana 38, M. Munaweera 12, C. Jayaweera 3-19, A. Ranasinghe 3-37, J. Kumarasinghe 2-11. and 94 in 49.1 overs (D. Seneviratne 20, D. Gangoda 13, S. Pathirana 13, M. Munaweera 18, C. Jayaweera 2-26, A. Ranasinghe 4-23, A. Athulathmudali 2-0)

Ananda - 228-4 in 80.1 overs (P. Boteju 91, M. Udawatte 67, A. Athulathmudali 22, J. Kumarasinghe 21, S. Pathirana 3-70. - AK
