Named after two key personalities connected to the two schools, the late Neville De Alwis who served as the Warden of S. Thomas' College from 1983 to 1998.
Late Ralph Alles commenced his journey a teacher of Royal College and later became the founder Principal of D.S. Senanayake College and later functioned as State Secretary of Education.
The main aim of this inaugural clash between Sri Lanka's oldest private school and a premier International School - one of the youngest in the island is to join hands to build an excellent platform to students with diverse values, cultures and backgrounds to bond in healthy rivalry and comradeship.
