Lanka Lions Inter School Cricket Sixes 

We participated in the Lanka Lions Inter Schools Cricket sixes on 29th of January’09 and came up to the Semi finals of the Cup Championship under the dynamic leadership of Sheik Aslam. During the Tournament we beat Thurstan, Nalanda, and the quarter finals beat Isipathana in a nail biting thriller in the last ball. Unfortunately we had to go out in the Semi Finals to Lumbini MV who were the eventual champs.

 Alumni wishes to thank the players for keeping the college flag flying high & all who turned up and gave their encouragements for the boys without whom it wouldn’t have being successful. Special thanks to Sri, Ravi, Indika & Ratne who had to pull out of the tournament due to the injury sustained during Cricket practises.
