Trinity bounced back in grand style thanks to a magnificent second half six-try blitz at their Pallekele Rugby Stadium where the Antonians could not score any. Antonians dominated the first half with a penalty and a converted try which Trinity replied with one of them.

Antonian skipper Makarim played his heart out without much support from his teammates. Ekanayake did kicking duties for the Katugastota lads.

For Trinity, their tries were scored by Nethwara, Reshan Bandaranyake, Nimesh Ekanayake, Amith Kulatunge, Dhirendra Ratwatte, Geeshaba Kulatunge (two) and Trevin Karunanayake.
