A Magnificent Performance packed with suspense. 

A review by Master Nimuthu Pathiraja (Web Content Team) 

On the 23^rd of March 2024, Trinity was warming to yet another momentous event in its college calendar, the 42^nd Limited Overs Encounter against St’ Anthonys College. After an exhilarating match just the previous weekend which came down to the very last ball, the limited-overs encounter was approached with unprecedented excitement, anticipation and prospect, and Trinity well and truly lived up to the hype at the Katugastota Oval.  

Batting first. The Batting display of Trinity was truly an outstanding display of talent and dedication. The team managed to score 228 runs for 9 wickets, which was made possible with two special knocks by Master. Dimantha Mahavithana and Supun Waduge (55 and 56 runs respectively) with support from almost all of the batsmen.  

The bowling was no second to the batting, as exceptional resilience, grit and patience were highlighted by our bowlers. Master. Dinuka Thennakon and Tharana Wimaladharma were the stalwarts in the bowling section, claiming 3 wickets each with Master. Manula Kularathne, Malith Ratnayake and Supun Waduge also contributing with 3 wickets amongst them, ultimately resulting in the fighting Anthonians to subside at 128 runs all-out, resulting in a deserved win for Trinity College Kandy with an astonishing margin of 100 runs which earned them the Sir Richard Aluvihare Trophy.
