By Chaniru Senhas & Rehan Anandakumar (Web Content Team)  Trinity College defeated Royal College, Colombo in the first leg of the 78th Bradby Shield, 17-16, at the Royal Complex, on the 24th of August 2024. The 78th round of this classic school rugby rivalry culminated at a crowded Royal Complex, where the host team started significantly ahead. Both sides demonstrated their capabilities, with Trinity executing promising attacking plays and Royal dominating possession. Thanks to the professional refereeing on display, the game was closely monitored for fairness and accuracy. Trinity gave a kickable penalty for offside in the 10th minute, and Idris Farook took advantage of the opportunity, kicking the ball perfectly to open the scoring. (RC 03, 00 TCK)  Trinity swiftly evened the score after Royal’s No. 08, Ayyash Shiyam, committed an obstruction infraction. Shaan Althaaf smoothly converted the simple penalty, keeping the game intensely contested. (RC 03–03 TCK) Trinity then seized momentum, executing a strong rolling maul that knocked Royal backward. Their continuous pressure through a series of pick-and-drives forced Royal’s defenders to the breakdown, providing the ideal opportunity for Shaan Althaf to execute a fantastic tactical cross-kick to winger Murad Raizan, who scored the match’s first try. This phase of play was executed under the watchful eyes of the professional refereeing team, ensuring that the game was played within the rules.(RC 03-08 TCK)  Royal promptly responded with a penalty kick by Idris Farook, cutting the lead to two points. Shortly after, Royal launched another attack, with Nabeel Yahiya making considerable gains within Trinity’s 22-meter line. This drew more defenders, allowing winger Fahad Nazaar to score under the posts following a pick-and-drive. Farook converted the simple extra points to give Royal the lead and move the momentum back in their favour. (RC 13–08 TCK)  The game moved well, with Royal asserting authority in the dying minutes of the half. Despite being granted a kickable penalty, Royal chose to kick to the corner, but Trinity’s defence stood firm. The professional refereeing ensured that every decision was fair and unbiased, contributing to the tension and excitement of the match. Royal led by five points at halftime. Halftime: Royal College 13 (1T, 1C, 2P) over Trinity College 08 (1T, 1P). Trinity dominated the second half, controlling both territory and possession. Their constant pressure compelled Royal to commit a series of penalties. Trinity’s initial scrum pick for a simple penalty went astray, but they quickly got another penalty. This time, Shaan Althaf hit a remarkable 48-meter kick to cut the gap and keep Trinity in the contest. (RC 13–11 TCK)  Trinity took advantage of the situation once more as Royal’s penalty count increased, and Shaan Althaf rose to the occasion with assurance. With a superb 46-meter kick, he earned his team the lead back. (RC 13–14 TCK). Trinity’s momentum grew at this point in the match, making it an important turning point. With rolling mauls and strong pick-and-drives, they applied constant pressure to Royal, but Royal’s defence held strong, including a valiant hold-up on Trinity’s last drive. The ball was cleared by a goal-line drop-out and ended up in Trinity centre Usman Safarz’s. He passed without hesitation to the highly effective Shaan Althaf, who extended Trinity’s advantage and further cemented his influence on the game with a cool, composed 38-meter drop goal. This crucial play was overseen by the professional refereeing team, whose precise calls ensured the integrity of the match.

Trinity was given a penalty for offside after the restart, but Shaan Althaf’s kick just missed the line once more, setting up a suspenseful conclusion. (RC 16–17 TCK). Trinity kept up the constant pressure, but Royal’s defence held firm. Even when Royal managed to take control again, time was not on their side. After a hard-fought war, Trinity prevailed, and Shaan Althaf’s genius was a major contributing factor to their victory. They will now go into the second leg in Pallekele on September 7th with a crucial advantage.  “The boys worked really hard today, especially in the second half.

Written by Abdurrahman Roshan Reviewed by Kaveen Senanayake (TL)  On the 8th of August, the Senior Scout Troop embarked on their first annual hike since 2018, marking a crucial turning point for the Troop. Led by Troop Leader Mast. Kaveen Senanayake, the senior troop of 25 eager members set out on this much-anticipated adventure.  Departing from school at 5:20 am, our first stop was at the Bambarakiriella Bridge. The serene surroundings set a perfect tone for the day ahead. We then made our way to the Riverston Hike Trail in Matale, where we enjoyed a hearty breakfast enveloped in the cool morning air. The trail, surrounded by lush greenery, hinted at the challenges to come.  As we began our climb, the early morning mist was wrapped around the mountain, shrouding the views in a soft, white layer.While the mist added a mysterious charm, it also obscured the stunning vistas that Riverston is famous for, leaving us with just a glimpse of the beauty hidden beyond.  The highlight of the day was the climb up Manigala Mountain, a feat that tested our endurance and teamwork. We navigated the rugged terrain, pausing for a brief session led by the seniors on compass mapping, studying the local flora and fauna, and the historical significance of the nearby villages. These educational moments added depth to the hike, connecting us with the environment and the rich heritage of the area.  After successfully reaching the summit, we took some time to enjoy the beautiful view while having a small snack. We then began our descent down the mountain using an alternate route, which was longer than the one we had climbed.   At the end of the hike, we enjoyed a well-deserved lunch. The day continued with a refreshing bath in a nearby river, followed by evening tea—a perfect way to unwind after the hike. We departed the site around 5:30 pm, our spirits high from a day well spent.  This hike was more than just an adventure; it was a revival of the scouting spirit and a day of learning, strengthening brotherhood, and the renewal of a tradition that will undoubtedly continue for years to come.  Special thanks to our Master-in-Charge, Mr. Saman Rathnayake, for his invaluable support throughout the entire process.
