Dollar gifts from Cricket for Rugby

Date:

May 06, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka Cricket decided to recognise the achievement of the national rugby team, which won the Asia Rugby Division 1 Championship by beating Kazakhstan yesterday (04) in Colombo, with an award of US$30,000.

The decision to recognise the players and coaches who were involved in achieving this excellent win was taken by the President of Sri Lanka Cricket, Mr. Shammi Silva, and the Executive Committee, keeping in line with Sri Lanka Cricket’s continuous policy of recognising sporting excellence in the country.

Sri Lanka Cricket is extremely happy with this achievement, as it promotes the national rugby team into the top tier of the Asian Rugby circle, which augurs well for the country’s sports arena.

The Sri Lanka team defeated the Kazakhstan team in the final match with 45 – 7 points.
