Manoj Sarathchandra of St Anthony’s Katugastota and St Sebastian’s skipper and Sri Lanka youth player Amila Aponso came out on top in the batting and bowling department from the matches that were completed over the weekend.

Both Manoj who made a top score of 128 and Amila Aponso who had impressive figures of 8 for 57 has been in top form in the ongoing Under 19 interschool cricket season.

Amila has been among the wickets since the season started and has been a match winner for his side and has so far taken 84 wickets from the 17 matches that he has played so far.

Apart from Manoj’s ton there were seven other tons made during the week which came from Priyamal Perera (St Joseph’s), Tharaka Somatileke (Kegalu MV), Tharindu Dilshan (Prince of Wales), Shan Chathuranga (Kegalu MV), Shanuka Dulaj (Prince of Wales), Dinuk Wickramanayake (Trinity) and Duleeka Tissakuttige (Mahanama Col) while Zahira’s Imras was unfortunate to miss out on a ton.

Kuasl Mendis of Prince of Wales and Imras Rafi of Zahira Colombo who reached the milestone of 1000 runs was joined by St Peter’s skipper Shehan Fernando who too reached this milestone in the match against Mahanama Colombo.

Shehan achieved his feat from 15 matches and 23 innings which comprised two tons and seven half tons. With the inter-school cricket season at it’s tail end it’s interesting to see who will be the bowlers to reach the 100 wicket mark with Hashan Hewanayake of S de S. Jayasinghe MMV Dehiwala being the first to achieve the feat.
