Pride of Lions 2008: Cascading Colours of Culture organised by St. Bridget's convent was a showcase of Sri Lankan culture and greatness, and the key word they were trying to impress upon everybody present was 'authenticity'; about the performance being as authentic and pure as possible. And how far that was achieved, has yet to be determined. First to leave their mark was the Bharatha Natyam piece. What was an awe-inspiring performance was hindered by lighting which was distracting.
So, the first leg of the Bradby Shield Encounter, the biggest rugby match of the season has been played, lost and won. Speculations surrounding the results were many and equally balanced. The game though, was not. Although Trinity College and Royal College seemed to be on equal footing, the boys from Kandy managed to conquer on foreign turf with a margin of 12 points.
