Golf: Taniya to meet Thuhashini in the Sri Lanka Ladies Amateur Championship final

Sport

The much awaited battle of an all Sri Lankan final in the Sri Lanka Ladies Amateur Open Golf Championship becomes a reality with Thuhashini Selvaratnam, a past winner of the championship, playing in Sri Lanka after many years beat Anouk Chitty in the second semi-final 2 and 1, to meet top seed Taniya Minel Balasuriya in the 36-hole final at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.

Taniya Minel, 15, was challenged by young Ijaz Rimsha from Pakistan, who went down fighting all the way to eventually give-way on the 17th hole.

Taniya has the opportunity to become the second youngest player to win the Sri Lanka Ladies Amateur Golf title, which is the national title, since the record is held by Thuhashini, who won in 1989, establishing a Guinness Book World Record as the youngest in the world to win a National title.

Sri Lanka summons Canadian HC, strongly protests construction of misleading monument in Canada

The Government of Sri Lanka maintains that the allegation of genocide during the final phase of the conflict in Sri Lanka is unsubstantiated by any credible authority, either nationally or internationally, and is based on misleading information. Sri Lanka firmly rejects this false narrative and believes it has been propagated primarily for electoral gains within Canada.
