Trinity record four wicket win over St Peter’s

By M. Shamil Amit

Trinity College recorded a four wicket win over St Peter’s College in their Under 19 inter-school cricket encounter which was also fought out for the Philip and Eddie Bultjens Memorial Trophy at Bambalapitiya yesterday.

The match was played over three days. 

But the Peterites fell back in the second innings as they were bowled out for a low score of 89 runs which left Trinity a run chase of 114 runs which they achieved to lay their hands on the trophy for the first time since it was introduced in 2016.

There were three other outright wins recorded by Sri Sumangala Panadura, President’s College Kotte and Christ King College Ja-Ela.
