Congratulations! We wish you boys all the best for the 1st fifteen team in future. Win or Loose, it doesn`t really matter. Learn the bigger lesson of being true Gentlemen of Trinity, but not thugs or ruffians when playing this game unlike what we see in schools rugby now. The game of life has no rules or timeline but you boys have to be better leaders than what we see in our society today. Good Luck.

Unfortunately, people like Rathwaththes' ruined your prestigious name of your school though we know that Trinity is highly commendable without any reservation.

There is lite at the end of the tunnel. You young Trinitians are the future Rugby players going to represent Trinity at the senior level uand Srilanka at the national level. Lead the game of Rugby by example and demonstrate the nation what Trinity College can produce in the sports arena. Remember that it's only a game of Rugby and play the game in the true tradition of Trinity. After all it's only a game to make friends with other schools players and develop fellowship. Win or lose is immaterial but to participation to play a game that matters. Congratulations and best wishes to the young Trinitians. Respicefinem - Look to the end.
