He was famous as the mystery and miracle man and learnt his rugby at St. Peter\u2019s College and later played for Havelock SC, Kandy Lake Club and Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">He was a player who made waves in the late 1950s,1960s and early 1970s with his natural talent and his coaches were amazed with his play and ability to read the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">More importantly, his penchant to create mayhem in his opponents\u2019 camp be it at school, club or national level with his running rugby made him special. He was one of the top players at Havelock SC and in the mid 1960s he was invited by EW Balasuriya to coach the Kandy Lake Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Being a playing member of the team Maurice de Silva strode a glorious path in his rugby career starting with St. Peter\u2019s College in 1954 from where he moved to Havelock Sports Club and in the year 1963 joined Kandy Lake Club. He played in the \u201cB\u201d division tournament organized by the Ceylon Rugby Football Union and within three years helped the club with his wide experience to win the \u201cB\u201d division title and gain a promotion to \u201cA\u201d division.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Maurice played mostly on the wing, but later in Kandy he played as inside three-quarter alongside the famous Didacus de Almeida. Both of them ran rings around the other clubs in elevating Kandy Lake Club to the \u2018A\u2019 division. He was a mastermind with great potential and skill levels using his experience to unleash a game plan to suit the team and play to their strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Rugby was not the only sport that Maurice indulged in as he was also a top cricketer, boxer and athlete during his school days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">What was most interesting was that except for Farouk Dole, Niyas Majeed (St. Anthony\u2019s) and Alex Larzarus (Trinity) all other players had no rugby experience at all, but responded to Maurice\u2019s coaching and played the game with a lot of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In cricket while in Kandy, he was invited by St .Anthony\u2019s College and was their coach in the 1970s and under his guidance in 1972 the Antonians beat their traditional cricket rivals Trinity College for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Maurice modelled his rugby on the lessons he learnt from his uncle Archibald Perera, the ace and legendary Peterite coach. In playing for the country, Maurice paired off with Nimal Maralande and in those days the rugby greats believed fervently that rugby was a running game and it was not rugby not to run. He was known for the art of chip-kicking and punting and sometimes even used his knee to chip-kick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Some of his teammates at Havelocks were Hubert Aloysius, Nimal Maralande, Dickie Jayatilleke, YC Chang, Ken de Joodt, Mike de Alwis, Condrad Ephramus, Maurice Anghie, Trevor Anghie, L. Sumanasekera and Gamini Fernando.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">When he enrolled at Kandy Lake Club as coach and player he had Farook Dole, Niyaz Majeed, Alex Lazarus, D. Ettipola, Tony de Sylva, George Thambiraja, Maurice Windus, Carl Fernando, Nihal Jayatilleke, Hector Galuge, Jadi Dissanayake, Izwan Omar, Didacus de Almedia, and Shafi Jainudeen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">With his expert coaching and playing within three years he helped Kandy Lake Club gain promotion to \u2018A\u2019 division which was extremely creditable and the happiest man was EW Balasuriya.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maurice de Silva to touch down on Tuesday-BY HAFIZ MARIKAR Maurice de Silva Source:Sundayobserver A funeral service for former sportsman and Sri Lanka rugby player Maurice de Silva will be held on Tuesday, February 9, at 11am at St Bridget\u2019s Catholic Church in Brisbane followed by his burial after he passed away last week at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":57861,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[32678,32677,32676,31945,32680,31947,32409,30056,29654,32679,30655],"class_list":{"0":"post-57860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles","8":"tag-condrad-ephramus","9":"tag-dickie-jayatilleke","10":"tag-hubert-aloysius","11":"tag-ken-de-joodt","12":"tag-l-sumanasekera","13":"tag-maurice-anghie","14":"tag-maurice-de-silva","15":"tag-mike-de-alwis","16":"tag-nimal-maralande","17":"tag-trevor-anghie","18":"tag-yc-chang","19":"post_format-post-format-aside"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Maurice de Silva to touch down on Tuesday-BY HAFIZ MARIKAR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A funeral service for former sportsman and Sri Lanka rugby player Maurice de Silva will be held on Tuesday, February 9\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Maurice de Silva to touch down on Tuesday-BY HAFIZ MARIKAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A funeral service for former sportsman and Sri Lanka rugby player Maurice de Silva will be held on Tuesday, February 9\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/maurice-de-silva-to-touch-down-on-tuesday-by-hafiz-marikar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"eLanka\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eLanka.com.au\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-02-08T17:32:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Maurice-de-Silva-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"eLanka admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"eLanka admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/maurice-de-silva-to-touch-down-on-tuesday-by-hafiz-marikar\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/maurice-de-silva-to-touch-down-on-tuesday-by-hafiz-marikar\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"eLanka admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/#\/schema\/person\/f6e635b74ab35ef88a68a9973cacc5bd\"},\"headline\":\"Maurice de Silva to touch down on Tuesday-BY HAFIZ MARIKAR\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-02-08T17:32:18+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/maurice-de-silva-to-touch-down-on-tuesday-by-hafiz-marikar\/\"},\"wordCount\":660,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/maurice-de-silva-to-touch-down-on-tuesday-by-hafiz-marikar\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Maurice-de-Silva-1.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Condrad Ephramus\",\"Dickie Jayatilleke\",\"Hubert Aloysius\",\"Ken de Joodt\",\"L.
