Old Nalandians play softball cricket for a worthy cause

The Old Nalandians Sports Club which has over the years helped the College in all their sporting activities have organized a series of softball matches to be played at the Bloomfield Grounds on February 7.

In addition to the matches arranged for those under 40 ,over 40 and over 50, it will be a day filled with fun for members, their families and well wishers who are invited to join in and have a good time. In recent times the funds that were available to help the sports activities of Nalanda have been dwindling and Chairman, Organizing Committee of Old Nalanda Sports Club Mahinda Athulathmudali, has organized the softball matches to get the members and their families together and map out strategy to collect funds.

It is a worthy cause and Athulathmudali is confident that all old boys, their families and well wishers will come in their numbers and help in this worthy cause.

Incidentally Athulathmudali was one of the best off spin bowlers to come out of that school and was unplayable during his time which was the sixties. He also played for Saracens and had he continued in the game instead of making it to Canada could easily have sported the national cap.
