Defending Singer Schools Rugby League champions, Royal College enjoyed a comfortable 62-6 win against newbie Malivadeva College, in their opening game of the season played at Royal Sports Complex on Saturday (2).
Despite the final score and the winning margin, the game could be termed as a learning curve for both teams in particular, for Royal on how to organise themselves as a unit and for Maliyadeva, on how to deal with sides that are far experienced than them.
Royal scored as much as ten tries, with the bulk of them coming in the second half, and converted six of them, as they made the encounter to try out their kicking options as well.
The hosts led the halftime 24-3, after being solidly held back by the visitors in the first ten minutes from barging through the try line.
Maliyadeva scored from two penalties.
