Rugby Team Dinner-2015
RC ’82 Australian group sponsored the dinner organised to felicitate the RC rugby team in 2015. The event was held on 26th May 2015 at Playtrix, CR & FC, Colombo 7.
We decided to sponsor the felicitation dinner because our batch mate, Mahendra Gamage’s son Bhanuka captained the team and Ranjith Wasantha Perera’s son Supun made a big difference towards taking the team to win the national championship, Bradby Shield and the Gunaratne Trophy. We thank Suresh Ratnasinghe who coordinated and organised the event with Mahendra and Wasantha. Manahara Wijeratne supported the event by taking photographs and Chandimal serenaded with his music. Sriyan Cooray who captained during our time delivered a speech to motivate the team. Ashan Abeysundera acted as the MC. The team was accompanied by the Senior Games Master , Mr Sudath Liyanagunawardena MIC, Mr Anura Wanigasinghe, Coach, Mr Rohan Martis, Coach, Mr Lewke, Trainers, Mr Sunimal and Mr Akila and Dr. Thushantha Wijesinghe , Dr. Kithsiri Perera and Physiotherapist, Mr Banak represented the medical team.
