First time in Sri Lankan rugby history Rizah Mubarak and Dhanushka Perera of CR&FC will be off to Cape Town, South Africa on January 22 th for two months on a special scholarship. This full time scholarship was awarded to Rizah & Dhanushka as they were the most prominent players of the 2009 season (as per to SLRFU’s special notice). Rizah, a fine product of Isipathana Collage who represented the collage 1st XV from 2005 to 2007. Packed with immense talent, young Rizah stated his sporting career in football. He represented collage U-13, 15, 17 & captained the U-19 football team.
With the desire to rugby this multi talented lad switched to rugby in 2005 and he was an automatic choice for the team. To me his golden year was in 2007 as he was a an sparkling member of the dashing sevens team. He was selected to Sri Lankan Youth team on the same year and he did us proud in Brunai.
After the collage success he joined Longdon Place Club, with the red-jersey he matured ever so in the game. 2008 is another milestone for Rizah as he was selected to National Team for the Asian Five Nation tournament. At present he is most prominent rugby player both at CR&FC and in Sri Lanka.
We wish him success in his career and to serve Sri Lanka as I clearly see he will be caring the legacy of the Sri Lankan GOLDEN BOOT of King Charly (Charls Wijewardana).
