Nothing will be asked or given when the much awaited inter school rugby season gets underway on June 12 with Isipathana College moving out to defend the Division One title.
Fourteen teams are in the fray in two groups and the top two teams in each group at the end of the first round will move into a four-team segment known as the Super Round to determine the ultimate winners who will take custody of the Dialog Trophy.
An official of the Sri Lanka Schools Rugby Football Association (SLSRFA) said the 14 teams have been grouped according to their respective standings at the conclusion of the first round of the 2022 season.
The dates and venues of the matches of the 2023 tournament are yet to be finalized and the SLSRFA is also expected to reduce the number of teams in the Division One championship to 12 next season.
