It was double blow for the Royalist as they not only lost the Bradby Shield rugby encounter this year but also the Bradby Golf 2024 at the Victoria Golf Resort (VGR) in Rajawella. 

The Old Trinitians led by seasoned golfer Suren Vaas beat the Old Royalist, led by veteran banker, Jehaan Ismail with a score of 6.5 to 3.5.

The Old Trinitians now lead the overall series tally 6-3.

There were three games which drew the attention at the VGR as Derrick Ponnambalam and Saliya Jayaweera (Old Royalists) beat Chandima De Singhe and Clifford Fernando (Old Trinitians) 6-5. 
In another keen tussle James Eliyathambi and Sathies Balasubramaniam (Old Trinitians) beat Harsha Abeywickrama and Suren Madanayake (Old Royalists) 6-5. 

In addition, Surain Prematilake and Nisal Hettiarachchi (Old Trinitians) beat Andy Anderson and Saliya Jayaweera (Old Royalists) by the same score line.
To make the Bradby Golf more participation among the Old Boys from both schools, the Victoria Bowl was also played and the best three players with the stableford points were selected for this event. 

The Old Royalists walked away with the Victoria Bowl. Dilip Kumar, an Old Trinitian and former Chairman of the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) also participated in the event for the 
first time.
