By S. M. Jiffry Abdeen - Kandy South group corr.

A sparkling knock of 53 not out with 4 sixes and 3 fours in only 44 balls by Pubudu Seneviratne for Dharmaraja College was the highlight of their Coca Cola Bottlers Trophy cricket tournament match against Trinity College which ended in a draw at Peradeniya on Saturday.

Both teams found run getting extremely difficult on an outfield which was over grown with grass.

Boundaries and two's were hard to come by thus reducing the game to a low-scoring one.

Dharmaraja College: 179 all out in 88.1 overs (S. Ranasinghe 33, C. Werake 31, P. Seneviratne 54, P. Udunuwara 16, L. Wijesekera 20, S. Moratota 4 for 31, N. Jayasena 2 for 11) and 64 for 1 in 13 overs (Pububu Seneviratne 53 not out).

Trinity College: 134 for 8 wickets, 89 overs (J. Attanayake 38, D. Weeraratne 38, K. Weeraratne 12, W. Herath 2 for 19, P. Seneviratne 3 for 27, C. Werake 2 for 10).
