Rustomjee was the first to annex the Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Records indicate that the All Ceylon Table Tennis Association was formed in 1944 with its first president being Homi Rustomjee and M. Balaji as secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Rustomjee was president for 11 years with M Balaji, A. Vythialingam and J. Rajasingham serving as secretaries. During these formative years Ceylon was privileged to welcome World Champions Viktor Barna, Richard Bergman, Johnny Leach and the twins Diane and Rosalind Rowe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Following Rustomjee, Justice A Vythialingam, M. Balaji and DL Salgado became presidents. The players who had emerged on top in the Championships were selected to represent us at the All India Championships held in Bombay, Holkar, Indore, Madras and Andhra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 1952 a team participated in the World Championships in Bombay. During this era Pesi Pestonjee and Dick Schoorman were the \u2018stars\u2019 with Norshir Lakdawala and Chrys Gunaratne heralding their entry at the National Junior Championships. In a random recollection the following were Champions in the women\u2019s sector over the decades:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Belle Wirekoon (SL champion 12 times), Grace Somasunderam, T. Singham, Swarna Peiris, Namal Gunasekera, Tamara Doering, Frances Ratnayake, Nandini Daniel. Srini Lucas, Shyamalee Dias and Vajira Premaratne.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the 1960s we witnessed Buddy Reid, Nimo Ramchand and Firoze Nilam followed by Suresh Melvani, NH Perera, Annesley Gomez, Sarath Gunaratne, Deepak Naraindas, Jothipala Samaraweera, Dr. GN Lucas, Angelo Santiago, MB De Silva, Rasakantha Rasiah, Lalith Priyantha and Shabbar and Shabbir Hussain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Those who helped to administer the game in the 1970s and 1980s were: DL Salgado, M. Balaji, Major General Kamal Fernando, Pesi Pestonjee, GAS Ganepola, Charlie Daniel, Chandrakant Vasa, Minister Gamini Dissanayake followed by Sarath Gunaratne, Rajiva Wijetunge and Chandana Perera who by their dedication and commitment carried on the legacy of yesteryears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Chandana Perera deserves accolades for his yeoman services as Tournament Committee chairman and president since the 80s. The secretaries who teamed up well with their presidents were Hemasiri Fernando, WA Chandrapala, R Kulasingham, LAA Fernando, NE Thangarajah, PV Gopalakrishnan, Anver Dole and Ajith Gamage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The country has in recent years witnessed the emergence of several \u2018stars\u2019 in the schools and clubs and we wish them well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">My apologies for any omissions due to this hurriedly prepared recap within the limited time frame allotted to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(The writer is former Secretary Board of Control for TT in Sri Lanka and former President Mercantile TT Association)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Lanka table tennis marks 75th anniversary Championships-BY ERIC MOTHA Source:Sundayobserver Pesi Pestonjee chronicled an article captioned \u201c50 years of TT\u201d in 1996 and rightly referred to himself as probably the last of the old brigade which has slid into history.
