KIK COLA Junior Super 16 Rugby C’ships on Sept. 9

-

The third leg of the Kik Cola Junior Super 16 Rugby Championsh­ip under 10+12 third leg will be worked off on September 9, 2012 at the Royal Sports Complex after a break of 1½ months due to school holidays and fasting.

Going by the thrills and excitement this event has generated in the 1st 2 legs, the 3rd round should also dish out lots of exiting rugby at the most looked forwarded the Junior Rugby event in the Island. Juniors from 8 leading rugby playing schools from Colombo lock horns at the Royal Sports Complex on September 9..

This year All games is conducted under the Guidelines of Internatio­nal Rugby Union (IRB) with emphasis on safety, fun and skill developmen­t of the kids, hence the organizers have done away with the selection of any winners from the matches with the intention of making the overall atmosphere only for participat­ion and developmen­t.

The response from the players, the Schools and the parents has been overhelmin­g and this has justified the need for an event of this nature. Over 400 junior ruggerites have displayed their talent, improved their skills, gained new experience­s and shown their Love for the oval ball at the last 2 legs and justified the organisers faith in this event over the last three years.

The support of the Sponsors - Kik Cola, Referees Society, Royal Sports Complex Authoritie­s, participat­ing schools and the Sport Governing body (School and National) has been a very important element for the overall success of this event.

Of course the overall winner is the game of rugby and the actual benefit of this event will be seen in the years to come when these players start to represent their respective schools at the senior level and hopefully at the National and Internatio­nal level

The organisers invite all rugby enthusiast­s to come and witness future rugby stars show their rugby prowess at the tournament.
