Sport

In a bid to develop and uplift the standard of Rugby football at St. Thomas' Matale, (The only Rugger playing school in the district), Matale Thomians 2005 A/L batch donated rugger sports goods (balls, hit shields and tackling bags) worth over Rs. 50,000/- to their old Alma-mater at a simple ceremony held at college.

Matale Thomians have been playing rugger since 1996.

The team emerged champions to bag the chairman's trophy at the Milo Schools Under-20 Division I Knockout Rugby Tournaments held in 2015 and 2016.

The president of Matale Thomians 2005 A/L batch Nalinda Wijenayake (a former rugger captain of the school) handed over the sports materials to the principal of St. Thomas' K.H.J. Kulasooriya.

Present on the occasion were Sandun Liyanage (MIC), Indrawansha Herath (Asst. Principal), Srikanth Malalagama (VP 2005 batch), Januka Ekanayaka (Treasurer), Dhanushka Piyadigamage (Sec. 2005 batch) and S.B. Madugalle (coach).
