the schools rugby season coming up,once again it’s the time where the fans ponder, who will be the champions? Who would be the top contenders? And other interesting debates. As the excitement grows we decided to get some exiting insights on teams who would be playing in the "A" Division this year. Speaking exclusively to Kings of Rugby former Captain of Royal College Suvinda Lenaduwa shared his views and thoughts about the lads from Reid Avenue and he is confident that they have what it takes to win the title this year.
*What do you think of this year’s royal squad ?
"This years Royal side is fairly inexperienced but will definitely put up a good fight for this years’ league title as the remaining senior players and the under 18’s are also very talented in all aspects of the game.They proved this last year when the same side emerged as runners-up to a well experienced Peterite outfit by just two points. So I’m Confident they’ll perform well"
*Who will be the key players for Royal this season?
"The key players this season for them would be No.08 Shehan Pathirana, Hooker: Adhil Jabbar, Fly Half: Arshad Jamaldeenand, and Winger: Rimzi Jamaldeen. They are experienced players so they should rise up to the challenge".
* Who do you consider as "Top Contenders" for this years title?
"Well the main contender for this year’s title would be St. Peters simply because they have avery experienced side. But in the game of rugby anything can happen and I’m sure if sides like Royal,Trinity,Isipathana and even Kingswood play to their true potential they have a very good chance of finishing at the top of the league this season. "
*What do you think Royals’ main priorities would be for this season?
“I think Royals main priorities would be to finish the season at the top of the table in the league aswell as retain the” Gunarathne” trophy and the of course the all important “Bradby Shield.”
*If there’s anything you would personally like to improve in this years’ outfit what would it be and why?
“The only improvement I would like to see in this year’s side is the consistency in goal and penalty kicking because I feel that this would give us an added advantage as we will make a big difference when it comes to crunch matches “
*The"Bradby" is a different ball game. Any ideas on how it would go this season?
“Yes! The Bradby is totally different Game and I feel this year’s game is going to be very Intense because Trinity will surely come out all fired for vengeance, for their loss of the Bradby for two consecutive years now. But at the same time I am very confident about our players and I’m positive they will be able to make 3 in row if they play to their true potential “
*****Kings of Rugby ***** wishes Royal College all the best for the 2011 season!
