Rain plays spoilsport

Rain played havoc on the final day of the State-level inter-collegiate and inter-school basketball tournaments organised by Y’s men Club at Virudhunagar on Sunday night.

The inter-school final between St. Paul’s HSS (Salem) and St. Francis Xavier HSS (Tuticorin) was abandoned just before half-time, with St. Paul’s leading 26-15.
