            “St. Thomas’ College – Matale 
              has been in the forefront of sports activities having excelled in 
              sports such as hockey, athletics, cadeting and cricket. This success 
              in the sports arena could be attributed to the efforts and commitment 
              made by coaches, players and prefects of games who guided the students 
              on the right track to achieve such standards” so said Dr.
