Seetha Balika Vidyalaya, Kandy, clinched yet another hockey championship title when they beat Pushpadana Girls College, Kandy, 4 - 0 in the finals of the girls under 13 hockey tournament organised by the Kandy District Schools Hockey Association and played at Police grounds, Kandy. At half time Seetha Devi stickers led 2 - 0.

Highlight of the finals was the power play by Seetha Devi skipper and centre half Kavinda Supun who scored all four goals in the match. She was in such cracking form that every given opportunity she tore into the opponents' defence to sound the boards.

Her ruthless play in the finals dashed Pushpadana Girls College's all hopes of making an impression in the game or at least in providing a better opposition. Kelum Shanthasiri and G.G. Dharmaratne umpired.

St. Anthony's Girls College, Katugastota clinched the third place defeating Girls High School by the close margin of 2 - 1. It was refreshing to see the lasses from Girls High School once again being in the forefront of top hockey.

In the semi-final Seetha Devi Balika Vidyalaya met with unexpected opposition and were made to fight all the way by Girls High School before the former won 1 - 0. At half time there was no scoring. It was once again left to Kavinda Supun to score the winning goal and book her team a berth in the finals.

In the second semi final Pushpadana Girls College beat St. Anthony's Girls College 2 - 1.

Seetha Devi stickers have now proved in no uncertain terms that they are a top hockey school having won almost all the tournaments they have participated this year. The team is coached by M.A.M. Ashroff.
