It wasn’t ‘one small step’ but a gigantic leap for Dharmaraja College, Kandy as their team dished out a fascinating 48 points (six goals, two penalties) to 26 (3 goals, 1 try) win over a fighting Antonian outfit at Bogambara yesterday.  With this win the Rajans seem to be well on course to an historic first ever league championship, coming on top of their B Division triumph last season.

In 2011 School League Division A, Rajans played 11, won 3, lost 8 and relegated to Division B

Many Rajans have served in the armed services in the past and present. They are ordinary people with simple motives – honor, duty, and love for the country. These brave Rajan patriots have been safeguarding freedom and territorial integrity of the island nation for generations. They and their families - parents, wives, and children - have made great sacrifices to Sri Lanka.

Dear RAJANS,

As you know that our 1^st XV rugger team is doing great and unbeaten in ‘A’ division we must encourage them to win the league championship this  year.

Dharmaraja bravely withstood  a final determined effort by Peterites, who camped in Rajan territory for almost the entirety of the second half, who despite their desparate drive couldn’t find the way through to the goal line.Having led 17-12 at lemons, the Rajans came through 24-17 after having repulsed wave upon wave of attacks. The winners obtained their points through three goals and a penalty as opposed to two tries and a goal.

The Rajans did the expected by defeating rivals Kingswood by 33 points (3 goals, 4 penalties) to 24 (2 goals, 2 tries), in an entertaining game of rugby at Bogambara, on Friday.At the break, the winners led 21-12.

The 125th anniversary celebrations of Dharmaraja College Kandy had me reminiscing on some lively bits from my past and the unforgettable time I had spent at DRC.

It was pulsating, high octane rugby at Bogambara yesterday, as the Rajans came from behind to sneak a 21-20 win over a spirited Science College team.
