My close friends have been telling me that I should be proud of the achievements of my Dad in school in excelling in the sports field in Boxing and Rugby, which my dad had never spoken about other than my seeing few cups displayed on a cupboard at home in Nugegoda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">One thing that I still remember is that he had tattooed the Trinity College crest with lion on the left upper arm- quite a large one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As I was so keen to find out my Dad\u2019s sports achievements in School, this year (2017) I had the opportunity to visit the school during our annual winter-escape holiday from Sydney- to Kandy, Sri Lanka<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">We did make an appointment to see school Chaplin father Sarath who opened the doors for us to meet the Principal Andrew Fowler-Watt, and other member Ravi Amarasekera-general manager, who received us warmly and were all willing to assist and cooperate in my inquisitive venture.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The Librarian Mrs. Thilini Dias Sumanasekera, took all the trouble to check on my Dad \u2018sports records from the archives, and I was lucky for the first time to read my father\u2019s sports achievements in College, with a tear on my face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">My husband and I were so impressed to see how well the buildings and gardens were maintained in the College premises, and that alone made me so proud that my Daddy attended this College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The records reveal that \u201cThe United Services Boxing Association\u201d (USBA) held its boxing championship meet in Colombo, in November 1917. The College sent a large contingent of students to represent the school, but there is special mention that the school was proud to my father F.R. Sirimanne\u2019s team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Out of the eight cups awarded to the champions of the different weights the school had secured five. An additional cup for the best all-round man, presented by Mr. Leigh Smith, was also won for the school by S.V.Mallawaratchy. Further, the record shows that out of forty points, twenty eight points were achieved and the school was considered the second best team by 14 points and was declared Champions of 1917 and winners of the Stubbs Boxing Shield. It was my father Felix Sirimanne as caption led the team and the records said, \u201cF.R.Sirimanne, the Captain, is to be congratulated on the success of his team\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">My father\u2019s team was ably trained by Mr. J.N. Thomas. He had taken a great deal of trouble in bringing the members of the team to the splendid condition they were in on the night of the tournament, and a great deal of success of my Daddy\u2019s team was due to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The Trinity College Magazine of the day further stated that my father was the Boxing captain of the school from 1916 to 1918.

Boxing was introduced at Trinity in 1907 for the small boys and became a serious school sport in 1913 for the boys who were physically fit. Mr. Mulgrue of the staff was the first coach and he was assisted by R. V. Routledge, Sgt. Maj. Jobson and Rignell of the Army regiment stationed in Kandy. An inter-house meet was held in the very first year and Trinity won the Stubbs Shield in the inaugural meet in 1914.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Trinity\u2019s ascendency was maintained in 1915, \u201917, \u201918, \u201921, \u201922, \u201923, \u201926, \u201949, \u201951, and in 1983 by being the winners of the coveted Stubbs Shield. Only Royal and St. Sylvester\u2019s have won the Stubbs Shield on more occasions. The first death-knell to Trinity boxing was in 1962, but, like the phoenix, it sprang back to life in 1978 with the trainers being Bobby Jayaweera, S. B. Kiridena, Leslie Handunge and Sarath Jayasinghe and culminated with winning the Stubbs in 1983.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Sadly the second death-knell was dealt to Trinity boxing in 1984 and was again revived in 2005. Now that a professional boxing Ring has been donated by Dian Gomes, Trinity boxing may once again be on the fast track.\u00a0Since 2005, Trinity College boxers have managed to show their colours in the ring. They have fared exceptionally well in all meets in which they participated over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In Trinity history, the \u2018Lions\u2019 for boxing have been awarded to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">P.
