Cambrians' - Science clash in big match

Moratuwa Sports Correspondent

Prince of Wales' College, Moratuwa after three decades is now a force to reckon with in school Rugby. Full credit goes to M.E.C. Fernando, a distinguished old Cambrian and as Principal he took the bold decision to introduce rugby to Moratuwa and upto now no other Moratuwa school plays Rugby.

When Rugger was introduced to Prince of Wales College the then coach of Science College, Mt. Lavinia redily agreed to help. In addition the senior players of that college gave their utmost assistance. The past and the present Cambrian Ruggerites must salute Mr. Fernando, coach of Science College and the Science College outfit.

At Present Cambrians have gone strength to strength and have gained some stunning victories against some leading rugger playing schools.

The present Principal Rohana Karunarathne, an ardent sports fan is of the opinion that the time is ripe to organize a Big Match. It is fitting tribute to get the nod of Science College, Mount Lavinia for this fixture. This annual encounter would be played for M.E.C. Fernando Challenge Trophy.

The two schools have agreed to play the Big Match at a neutral venue and the venue chosen is none other than Havelock Park. It is a great coincidence that Fernando is coming as the Chief Guest.

The General Secretary of Prince of Wales College Old Boys Association Dilwin Mendis has requested all past Cambrians to get to Havelock Park on 3rd July 2009 at 4 p.m. to witness this historic inaugural match.
