The Old Boys' Association of Prince of Wales' College is organizing the Prince of Wales' College 150th Anniversary Inter-School Sixes Cricket Tournament from August 29 to 30 at the De Soysa Stadium. This high-profile event aims to revive the popularity of six-a-side cricket, which has been absent from major inter-school competitions recently.
The tournament will feature 16 leading school cricket teams competing in a knockout format. The tournament is expected to draw over 5,000 cricket enthusiasts from Moratuwa and surrounding areas, turning it into a major festival of school cricket. Notable attendees include former Sri Lankan cricketer Kusal Mendis, a Prince of Wales' College alumnus and member of the national team.
The tournament will not only provide thrilling school cricket matches but also promote sportsmanship, friendship, and fellowship among participating schools. The event will conclude on August 30 with a ceremonial awards presentation, acknowledging the support from the corporate sector and event sponsors.
