sponsorship towards a game such as Rugby, which is passionately played by the youth of our country, we have positioned ourselves as a leading supporter of Sri Lankan sports. We see a great amount of potential and energy in the St. Peter’s College Rugby team. That is why we are very pleased to be able to be their sponsor for the second time and wish them all the very best for yet another successful season.”
“St Peters College is one of the very few schools privileged to have sponsorships of this nature and we are very grateful to Airtel for this” stated Rev. Fr. Travis Gabriel, Rector, St. Peter’s College. Rugby at College has improved tremendously during the last season and we intend working towards a successful season this year as well. While I wish to thank Airtel for their constant support and encouragement I hope they continue to be associated with College Rugby and assist us to take St. Peter’s College sports to new heights” he further added.
Airtel Lanka made its foray into the field of sports sponsorships in the year 2012 through its associations with Manchester United and Football, Rugby, Tennis, Golf, Row- ing and Basketball. The company has been involved in the development of sports, as evidenced by its various sponsorships at school level, district level and islandwide.
