The history of the Bradby Dharmasiri Madugalle has suggested that I compile the history of the Bradby. This will be an odyssey that I well relish embarking upon and it is not my intention to make it a statistical rendition as there is much more to the Bradby games than winning and losing. The Bradby is the Big Apple, the most exciting encounter in the country's rugby calendar and takes pride of place even over club fixtures. It is now in its 58th year. To invest the commentary with passion and temper, to get at the pitch and core of the encounters, to keep the story free of bias, I appeal to Royalists, Trinitians and other rugby afficiandos to send me tit-bits, touching upon the heroics as well as the abject, the pathos and the bathos that have been the pure threads in the fabric. Like Lucky Dissanayake's spectacular drop kicks; like Lionel Almeida being given a baptism of fire by Lucky Vitarane; like even leaden-footed Chula Unamboowe scoring in a Trinity try spree; like Alan Henricus selling a peach of a dummy to Kenneth Boteju who tackled the touch judge, then a schoolboy, whilst Alan sprints for a try, like the dexterous side-stepping and electrifying acceleration and scything runs of Rajith Jayasundera. Due acknowledgement will be made in the publication on all printed matter. Proceeds of sales will be 50 per cent to the Trinity College OBA, 25 per cent to the Royal College Union and 25 per cent to Trinity College. Please communicate with Sharm de Alwis, 82/1, Kandy Road, Kiribathgoda. e-mail: [email protected] An informative web site has been launched in London, giving comprehensive information on Trinity and Trinitians, worldwide. Those who are interested may log on to wwwtrinitians. net and enter themselves in the directory at no cost. S de A |
