Coming out of their regular playing style, Royal College displayed a totally contrasting display to beat Wesley College 29-21 to win the Milo Schools President's Cup Knockout Rugby Championship quarter-final game played at the Royal Sports Complex on Monday (27).
Royal, known for their famous rolling maul, made more use of their three-quarters to lead the first half by 17-6.
They scored from five tries and three conversions to reach the semi-final stage of the competition.
Wesley, who played up to their potential, scored off two tries, a conversion, a penalty and two drop goals.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
