1. Dharmaraja College Vs Trinity College (2013.03.17 @ Pallekele)

This match was the season opener for the both teams and TCK were the first to touch the line not for the first but for the second time too .. Then it was Trinity's game until that moment when we came back with three back to back tires. At the dying moment of the game TCK scored their last try and they couldn't complete the conversion though it seemed to be not so difficult. The final score was 34 all and it was a draw. That's for the very first time we hold them for a draw
Unfortunately the decisions  of the veteran referee were not so fair as he did not spotted almost non of the TCK fouls.

2. Dharmaraja College Vs Isipathana College (2013.03.26 @ Bogambara)
Rajans recorded their first win of 2013 Rugby season by beating the 7s champions Isipatha by 35 points to 8. We have rewrote the history. 

As we analyse the scores it gives an impression that we have won the match easily and we have shown great performance. But for those who witness the match could have seen our performance is not in top notch thus need to pay attention on lot of weak points (fortunately not very harmful in this match). Two of our players were shown "yellow cards". This trend should be addressed immediately or can cause heavy loss in matches with strong opponents. Anyway a day to remember ..

3. Dharmaraja College Vs Science College (2013.04.05 @ Bogambara)

It was indeed a great win for Rajans (21 to 20) in this season but the performance of our rugby team was not upto the expected level. Ball handling was poor and lost a lot of line outs. Finally we had a narrow escape. This is the best time to review our performance and make necessary adjustments before the upcoming match.

4. Dharmaraja College Vs Kingswood College (2013.04.26 @ Bogambara)



We recorded a good win in a clear margin against the Kingswoodians (33 to 24). The referee’s decisions were absolutely not upto the standards, The dying stage of the match was played almost in darkness and the match was played for about 85 minutes. The Kingswoodians could not bear the defeat so they were not present at the awards ceremony. It was not what we all expect from sportsmen as well as students. Last year they refuse to play with Rajans as there was a chance of a defeat. But this season they had no other option but to play against Rajans. Finally they were clearly defeated. We believe that the officials as well as the OBU of KCK should consider this matter seriously and teach them to bear defeat as well as the victory

5. Dharmaraja College Vs St Peters College (2013.05.03 @ Bogambara)
We won the match by beating St Peters by 24 to 17. This was a crucial game for Rajans as an unbeaten team in this tournament. We played much better than the previous matches. At half time Rajans lead by 17 to 12. Finally we won by beating St Peters 24 (3G 1P) to 17 (1G 2T)

6. Dharmaraja College Vs Wesley College (2013.05.10 @ CR&FC Grounds)
Rajans beat Wesley by 36 to 24 to remain unbeaten. There was a huge improvement in our skills specially the forwards played a wonderful game and they have shown a dramatical improvement. The Wesleyites played a dangerous game made a lot of high tackles.

8. Dharmaraja College Vs St Joseph's College (2013.06.01 @ CR & FC Grounds)

It was a nail biting time for everyone as both teams fought equally. At half time it was 15 all and final score was 22 to 20. Dharmaraja college "Rajans" registered another win to be the table leaders.


The SLSRFA has decided to postpone the remaining league encounters which were scheduled for the 08th of June(Saturday) until further notice.
This decision was taken after a series of discussions after the Referees Society withdrew from officiating league games until adequate measures were taken to ensure security of the officials.
The SLSRFR requested the Schools Association to disallow spectators at selected games earlier this week, which was refuted by the Schools concerned. (Source : ThePapare.com)
