Isipatana, Thurstan record big victories

Hiran and Yenula in big stand for Joes

by Reemus Fernando

Isipatana and Thurstan registered big outright victories in their penultimate matches of the Under 19 Division I Tier ‘B’ tournament on Tuesday.

While Isipatana recorded an innings and 100 runs victory over St. Sebastian’s, Katuneriya, Thurstan beat St. Joseph Vaz’s by innings and 67 runs at BOI ground.

Victory by Isipatana will further cement their position as the leader in Group ‘Y’.

Thurstan’s victory is vital for them as they overtake St. Peter’s to take the second place in Group ‘X’ points table behind leaders Lumbini.

Lumbini’s position is unlikely to change as their first innings win over St. Aloysius’ on Tuesday further extend their lead.

Both St. Peter’s and Thurstan have one match each in the tournament.

In a Tier ‘A’ tournament match, Hiran Jayasundara scored 128 runs and put on a big stand of 208 runs for the fifth wicket with Yenula Dewthusa (96) to help St. Joseph’s post 334 for eight wickets declared and record a first innings win over Wesley.
