With regular skipper Denister Goonetileke is sidelined and is yet to confirm fitness, Avantha Lee will take the reigns as skipper ahead of the knockouts trophy. Lee and his team are set to face St. Joseph’s in the quarterfinals of the tournament that is set to be played on the 9th of June 2017 at the Sugathadasa Stadium.
Avantha has also had his fair share of tries under his name having scored six tries accounting to 30 points in total.
The last time the two teams met was during the second round of the Singer Schools Rugby League and the Double Blues; Wesley won it 23-14.
