Sri Lanka, March 1 -- The 75th Battle of the Golds between St. Sebastian's College and Prince of Wales College kicked off at De Soysa Stadium, Moratuwa yesterday.
Looking for their first win in 47 years, Prince of Wales College batted first. Opener captain Rivith Jayasuriya and Palingu Perera started confidently, early pressure from the Sebs' strong bowling attack saw Cambrians at 3/1.
Perera misjudged a delivery from Adesh Almeida in the third over and was caught by Koshendra Fernando for just 1 run off 13 balls, handing St. Sebastian's an early breakthrough.
Suwahas Fernando, last year's half-centurion, joined Jayasuriya to steady the innings. The pair looked solid at the crease, with Fernando on 20 and Jayasuriya on 26 after 18 overs....
