The local rugby scene was reeling in a state of shock and disbelief on Friday when the country’s leading rugby referee Living Legend Dilroy Fernando announced his retirement from the job that he had graced with honour and integrity and earned a reputation internationally as well.
An intense and a Drametic situation prevailed at the Royal- Isipathana school under-20 rugby match when the Principal of Royal College Mr . Upali Gunasekera ( Former Isipathana leganery Principle ) had to bring the match to an abrupt halt after twenty minutes of play in the second half when the scores were level 20-20 and awarded the Milroy Fernando Memorial Trophy to Isipathana.
The confrontation between Royal College, Colombo and Isipathana College, Colombo for the Major Milroy Fernando Trophy at Royal sports complex today should turn out to be a close tussle for supremacy.

The Singer under 20 Division 1A match played between St Peters College and Science College at St Peters ground last Saturday was a much looked forward to encounter for the teams, their supporters as well as the rugby loving public. The game was played at a tremendous pace , fortunes swinging from one side to the other, to the very end and neither team disappointed their fans. However, the same cannot be said of the quality of refereeing that marred an otherwise splendid game leading to a controversial ending and rather unpleasant and unwarranted aftermath.
