Sporting prowess came to the fore recently when 3,200 employees and sales officers of Ceylinco Life took to the field at the 2017 edition of the company’s sports festival.
The athletics segment of the festival was worked out at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Diyagama, after the life insurance leader’s cricket, volleyball and netball tournaments were concluded a few days before the main event.

The competitive fare included 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m races for men and women, 100 x 4 and 400 x 4 relays, a 800m walking race, as well as a tug-o-war and a 100 x 4 relay for heads of branches.
