Kingswood College Kandy, led by S. D. Thushara, retained the Lennie De Silva Memorial Trophy beating Royal College College 2-1 at the Peradeniya University Grounds recently.
Royal under skipper Akash Wijesekera pipped S. Thomas’ a few weeks ago in Colombo, but the lads from Randles Hill were too strong to handle. The under-16 game ended in a 2-all draw while the old boys’ match was completely dominated by the hosts as the Kingswood Union won 3-0.
The trophy game was inaugurated in the year 2004 in memory of the Late Lennie De Silva who played cricket, tennis, and football for Kingswood. He was instrumental in introducing hockey to Royal College in 1955.
