The Willawera Jayasinghe duo yet again came into the scene to add more points after play resumed from the half time break. Minutes later, Shewan Kapuwatte touched down to add more points but the conversion was unsuccessful. It was after this, that the Rajans got a breakthrough to open their scorecard with a try that could not be converted and thus the scoreboard read 40-5 in favour of the Thomians.
Jeremy Fernando was the last to score for the Thomians after which the Rajan's went into a comback mode to score 3 more tries of which one was successfully converted and to increase their points to 22 after which the scoreboard read 45-22 still in favour of STC.
