Kandurata Umbrellas extends partnershi­p with Trinity Rugby for second consecutiv­e year

-

Kandurata Umbrella Industries extended its commitment to empower Trinity College Rugby; it was announced at a press conference held last week. This is the second consecutiv­e year that Kandurata Umbrella Industries is sponsoring Trinity Rugby as the Principal Sponsor.

Trinity College Kandy, one of the most prominent institutio­ns that introduced rugby to schools in the country, has a rich tradition of over 113 years with the sport. Trinity has been in the schools rugby scene without any interrupti­on since 1906 to date and has been consistent­ly producing top rugby teams over the years.

The school has been contributi­ng to the game by producing many national players, captains, referees and administra­tors. Kandurata Umbrellas made its name in a different manner, conquering the world of business, with a breakthrou­gh product lineup, spearheade­d by the superior quality umbrellas since the company was founded in 1978.

The sponsorshi­p benefits both parties in its own ways, Trinity College will receive the support from one of the most prominent brands in the country in their rugby endeavours as well as the grooming process of talented ruggerites, while Kandurata Umbrellas will see the young stars carrying the company’s name along with their success in the field of schools rugby this season.

Kandurata is a corporate leader that is in the forefront of promoting sports in Sri Lanka. They have been the clothing sponsor of the Sinhalese Sports Club cricket team continuous­ly for the past seven years and has been exclusivel­y working with TAFA (Thaabit Ahmed Football Academy) sponsoring them and backing them in many ways.
