    Anandians are so unsporty they can never accept defeat. If you want to watch a decent gentlemen's match go to St. Joseph's and St Peter's big match.

    Josephians cheer when Peterites score and vice versa and there are no separate tents for the two schools and all are mixed but they enjoy without any fights.

    Ananda Nalanda big match is a real boys' big match. Not ponnayas match like Joe Pete.

    This is 1st time in History. Can never foget. but Ananda - Nalanda are the best Budhist Schools in Sri Lanka. If someone pointing these 2 schools by refering this incident, it's a big jok.

    Every one who knows who are Anandians & Nalandians.
