Arshard and Nigel for Kandy
Former Royalist and Police SC player Arshard Jamaldeen and former CR & FC Upcountry SC and national sevens player Nigel Ratwatte will play for Kandy SC in the coming Inter Club season this year. Both made their debut in the inter club sevens for the Kandy Sports Club yesterday at the race course rugby grounds.
Arshard who played a key role in Royal’s success as a fly half two years back with his kicking abilities will add some kicking flavour for the Kandy SC who was lacking a place kicker. Meanwhile Nigel Ratwatte being an outstanding player both in sevens and fifteens is expected to play either as fly half or full back.
Kandy SC will be fielding three pair of brothers in the Inter club season when it kicks off in early November this year. They are Weeraratne brothers (Gayan and Roshan), Perera brothers (Lavanga and Oshan) and Ratwatte brothers (Nigel and Damien). Sean Wijesinghe was appointed as the rugby captain of the Kandy SC this year.
The club will hold its Annual General Meeting on June 29 at the Nittawela Club House starting at 10.00am.
