𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗥𝘂𝗴𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: Game Day at Maradana as high riding Zahira College host resurgent S. Thomas' College in what turns out to be a blockbuster game on a gloomy Saturday in the Dialog Schools Rugby League, organised by the Sri Lanka Schools Rugby Football Association (SLSRFA). Due to the prevailing weather conditions, the match has been advanced to 3.30pm but there won't be any short in entertainment as both sides will look to stamp their authority early on in a must win game to secure their place in the Cup Championship. Zahira Tankers shocked the Royal Tuskers last week at the Complex as they ran wild after a historic win, which came after 63 years. They are all geared to repeat another historic win on their home soil, against Thomians that's eluded them since winning last in 1971. Zahira College and S.Thomas' College first met in Rugby back in 1958, and the battle soon gained a reputation for it's intensity and rivalry as both dished out some entertaining games between 1958-1964 where Thomians winning 4 and Zahirians winning 2 of those, 1959 and 1964 before a break to the battle till 1971. Zahirians won again in 1971 and Thomians returned with a win in 1973. Thereafter there was a long break until both teams met again in 2001, followed by 2017 and 2025 all won by Thomians. Thomians after their early slipup this year regrouped and bounced back well to win back to back matches and keep their hopes alive. Zahirians have been a sensation this year, remaining unbeaten and can the Tankers deliver another historic win or will Thomian grit prevail?

Here's wishing both sides a great game!
Play hard, play clean and uphold the Spirit of the Game boys!
