Sri Lanka, March 5 -- The 145 th Battle of the Blues between Royal College and S.Thomas College Mt Lavinia will be worked off from March 7 to 9 at SSC grounds.

This encounter is deemed to be the second oldest inter-school match in the world after St. Peter's College and Prince Alfred College of Adelaide, Australia which began in 1878 and also having the honour of surviving two World Wars and the recent Covid-19 pandemic which did not prevent the game being played.

Two schools are able to maintain their traditions very well during this three day encounter while present boys and Old boys build up their friendship through this big match which provides a good atmosphere. Two teams once again will battle for D.S Senanayake Memorial Shield. ...
