Former Sri Lanka ruggerite Indrajith is back

S.M. Jiffrey ABDEEN- Kandy sports corr.

Former Sri Lanka and Kandy Sports Club ruggerite Indrajith Bandaranayake is back in the island from Australia on a short holiday.

Indrajith Bandaranayake was one of the finest centres seen in the rugby field which he played for nearly 15 years. A hard and incisive runner known for his crash tackles which has stopped many a ruggerite in his tracks when on the way to score a try.

Indrajith Bandaranayake is a product of Dharmaraja College when he was introduced to the game by his college coach M. Zarook. He was also coached by Viper Nihal Gunaratne in school.

He captained Kandy Sports Club in 1993 and was the youngest to do so at the age of 22 and led them to win the Clifford Cup.

Kandy Sports Club in recognition of his services to Kandy's rugby named one of pavilions as "Indrajith Bandaranayake Pavilion". He will be the Chief Guest at this Sunday's Caltex League inter-club rugger match between Kandy Sports Club and CH and FC to be played at Nittawela.
