Left arm spinner Sachith Pathirana with a superb bowling spell guided Trinity College to victory over Dharamaraja College after 35 years in their inter school cricket match played at the Asgiriya Stadium on Sanday.

Before the Dharmaraja game, Trinity had won three matches this season, but their spirits were down after the disappointing performance against St. Joseph’s College, Colombo but they bounced back yesterday at their home ground to seal a compressive 10 wicket victory.

Trinity last beat Dharmaraja at the same venue under the leadership of Nihal Marambe in 1970 and this victory was recorded under the captaincy of Maduranga Munaweera. Young Pathirana had a good game claiming a match bag of 10 wickets and already has collected 70 wickets this season. He has also scored a double hundred.

Trinity 25l for 8 decl and 17 for no loss

Sachith Pathirana 11 not out and Maduranga Munaweera 5 not out

Dharmaraja 19 for 7 overnight 66 all out
