Royal College beat tradition rivals S. Thomas’ College when they made a near clean sweep of the 43rd Royal-Thomian Regatta and 47th Boat Race concluded at the Colombo Rowing Club, Beira Lake yesterday.

Out of a total of 11 races worked out Royal conceded only two points and two races to their rivals who were outwitted.
