Musaeus College claimed the titles for 2022 at the All Island Inter School under 16 hockey tournament that was worked off at the Dambulla National School Ground with the participation of 22 teams around the country.
Musaeus girls dominantly came into the tournament as a top contender to knock all the pre-tournament favorites out of the competition.
The team comfortably won all the league matches against Sri Sangamitta Balika National School - Matale (1-0), Sandalanka MMV (3-0), Swarnamali Balika Maha Vidyalaya (2-0) and Kaikawela Central College (1-0).
In the thrilling quarter-final, Musaeus beat their traditional arch-rival Visakha Vidyalaya with a score of 4-3, where penalties were the decisive factor. In the semifinal against Panadura Balika Vidyalaya, Musaeus secured the win with a final score of 1-0, delivering a frantic and gripping match for the spectators.
At the grand final, Musaeus dominated the possession against Sri Sangamitta Balika National School Matale until play was abandoned due to fading light just after the restart from the half time and both teams were tied up without scoring.
As the rules and regulations were previously formulated, both teams were declared joint Champions. However, Musaeus claimed the title as the only unbeaten team in the tournament, securing their school’s legacy.
