Under 20 Milo Schools Knock out Rugby Tournament
 
Wesley College beat league runners-up Kingswood
 
Wesley College stunned traditional rivals & this year’s A Division- league runners-up Kingswood College by 22 points (1 goal, 3 tries) to 17 (2 goals, 1penalty) at Royal College grounds last evening. This encounter was the quarter final of the under 20 Milo Schools Knock out tournament. Kingswood led 10-5 at lemons.
 
With backing from vociferous Wesley supporters at the grounds shouting our war cry “Zam Zam Zake…” the boys in Double Blue turned on the heat to stun the much fancied Kingswood team.
  
At full time the scores were level at 17points each. With extra time called, Wesley College scored first through a try by Full Back Aaquil Assan in fading light to cause the biggest upset of the season.
 
Flanker Inam Sally, Centre Randika Tilekeratne, No 8 Nadeera Ranasinghe & Full Back Aaquil Assan scored the tries with skipper & scrum half Azmil Oumar converting one.
 
Wesley now meets Royal College in the semi finals of the Milo Schools knock out tournament on Thursday 15th July at the CR & FC grounds, Longden Place.
 
Be there in large numbers and cheer our boys!!!
