This is by far the largest medal haul by any Sri Lankan team to date, sur- passing the Sri Lanka Masters Athletes feat of 155 medals at the 14th Asian Championship, held in Bangalore, India in 2006. Sri Lanka finished third behind India and Japan in the medal tally ahead of Chinese Taipei, China, Thailand and hosts Malaysia. A record number of 1700 athletes vied for hon- ours from 18 Asian coun- tries in the six day event. Our athletes not only brought medals home, they established nine new Asian Masters Championship records at the meet. Barring the record created by the quartet in the 4x400m relay (men 55 age group) the rest of the records came from athletes in the 35 age group category. They were G. N. Karunathilaka in the 800m and 3000m steeplechase, S. Chandrasena in the 400m, W. A. S. P. Chandrapala 5000m, Jude Siriwardhana long jump, Roshan Samarasingha 400m hurdles and Rekha Edirisinghe in the 2000m steeplechace. Sergey Polikarpov (Kazakhstan) was adjudged the Best Athlete of the Meet for his performance of 15:31.03s in the 5000m M50 age group. Sri Lankans S.

Chandrapala, 15:53.52s in the 5000m were among the athletes short listed for the Best Performance Title. Masters athletes win 187 medals at Asian Championships Celtics stars shine in win over Hawks BY REEMUS FERNANDO One of last year’s final- ists in the Inter-School Under-13 Division I cricket tournament will have to bow down at the quarter final stage this year as defending champions St. Peter’s College meet last year’s runners-up Mahanama College, in the quarter-final on Wednesday. The two teams, St. Peter’s and Mahanama secured their quarter-final berths beating Ananda and St. Sebastian’s Colleges respectively in their pre- quarter-finals. “The teams secured their knockout stage positions according to the points they gained during the second round. And their second round positions were deter- mined according to the points they aggregated dur- ing the first round. It is a coincidence that these two teams meet in the quarter finals,” said Manjula Vass, the Under-13 Tournament Secretary of the Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association. While St. Peter’s meet Mahanama at Shalika Grounds on Wednesday, Royal College, Panadura, will encounter Nalanda College in their quarter final at Ananda College Grounds, on Tuesday. Richmond College who beat Dharmasoka will meet Thurstan College at Royal College, Junior Grounds on Tuesday, while St. Joseph’s College will clash with Bandaranaike College, Gampaha at Shalika Ground on Tuesday. The tournament secre- tary said that the semi- finals will be played in January. Last year’s finalists Petes and Mahanama clash in quarter-finals CENTURION, South Africa (AP) - South Africa powered to 236-2 and a 100-run first-innings lead at tea against India on the second day of the first Test at Centurion on Friday. Alviro Petersen made 77, Graeme Smith 62 and Hashim Amla reached 50 not out on the last ball of the session as the home team pressed home its advantage after it bowled top- ranked India out for 136. The Proteas top order put together consecutive partner- ships of 111, 55 and then an unbeaten stand of 70 between Amla and Jacques Kallis (42 not out), with only off-spinner Harbhajan Singh (2-73) enjoy- ing any success for India at SuperSport Park. Harbhajan removed Smith before lunch, and then Petersen, who hit just his third Test half-century, halfway through the second session when he was caught by close fielder Gautam Gambhir. But Amla and Kallis pushed South Africa 100 runs ahead after 55 overs as India’s fast bowlers toiled on a hot day at SuperSport Park and South Africa added 125 for the loss of one wicket in the afternoon. Kallis joined Amla with the score on 166-1, and raced to 42 off 53 balls, launching two leg-side sixes off part-time spinner Suresh Raina. At the other end, the in-form Amla moved serenely to a 19th Test 50 as South Africa’s top three all made half-centuries. Amla has now scored more than 1,000 runs in 11 matches against India, with an average of near- ly 70. Without injured fast bowl- ing spearhead Zaheer Khan, India’s pace trio of Shanthakumaran Sreesanth (0- 50), Ishant Sharma (0-41) and young debutant Jaidev Unadkat (0-35) failed to extract the trou- bling pace and bounce that Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn produced to rip through India’s batting lineup on Thursday. It forced captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to rely heavily on Harbhajan and then introduce Raina and another part-time spinner, Sachin Tendulkar. India 1st Innings (O/n 136-9) G.
