Dhanasiri Amaratunga Foundation chairman Dhanasiri Amaratunge said: "it is our duty to help sports bodies when they need assistance. Without financial assistance it is impossible to conduct events in a grand scale. This is a Federation that really needs assistance as it does not receive any sort of aid from any source. As this is the situation when the president of SLBBF approached me I whole heartedly agreed to join hands to promote the game islandwide and also in the Dehiwala Mt. Lavinia area". He said this is a fine opportunity for everyone to witness our Local Musclemen show their muscles on an open air stage. Adding further Amaratunge said that his foundation will take steps to increase the prize money next year and thanked the federation officials for giving an opportunity to his foundation to be involved this grand show. The organisers have made arrangements to hold a grand musical evening for spectators who throng in large number to witness the competition. |
