Therapuththa National School Ambalantota won the inaugural Hambantota District inter school T20 tournament held at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Sooriyawewa recently. The tournament was organized by Colonel Shantha Rathnayaka, Manager of the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium on the instructions of Hambantota District Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa who has done much to uplift school cricket in the district. It was unfortunate that rain was a spoiler to this years tournament.
