Sports - Meedin kept them feeding

Peterite fly-half Irfath Meedin was the architect behind their victory over Wesley in one of the important “A” division clashes which took place at the Havelock Park last week.

Peterites scored a 19 points (1 Goal, 1 drop Goal and 3 Penalties) to 8 points (1 Try and 1 Penalty) win after leading at “Lemons” 10-3. The Wesley side looked promising in the first ten minutes of the game and faded away without proper game plan and lack of leadership qualities. They scored through a Yasas Nonis penalty. Peterites who missed a difficult chance through Meedin equalized through a fine drop goal by the same player who enjoyed one of the best games in his school career. He contributed 14 of the 19 points for the Bambalapitiya school.

The second half was completely dominated by the Peterites when they capitalized on number of mistakes made by the Wesley players. After Meedin was on target with a 30-metre penalty Wesley struck back through a try by nippy scrum half Samantha Lakshantha.

This was the only scoring done by the Wesley outfit. With the number of mistakes so high and costly for the Wesley side Medin converted two more penalties to take an easy victory in the end by 19-8.
