AAIC DC Schools League - Wesley take home impressive double, SJC get their own back
The Asian Alliance Insurance DC Schools League saw another interesting week with 3 crucial debates concluding over the weekend.
Wesley College hosted Colombo International School for both scheduled rounds at Borella on Saturday. The prepared debate was taken by Wesley College by a fairly convincing margin. Wesley College also carried the Impromptu debate albeit on a split decision.
A 2nd round encounter between St. Joseph's College and Bishop's College concluded on Sunday with St. Joseph's College emerging victorious by a close margin of 1 point.
The successful double saw Wesley College move up the rankings this week but the loss faced by Bishop's College has opened up the tournament once again. This scenario makes for some more crucial debates in the last 6 weeks of the competition.
The detailed results of this week's debates are as follows
Wesley College vs Colombo International School - 3-0 (WC)
