Tragedy hit the C. W. W. Kannangara College Rugby team, when the college rugby training and equipment room caught fire destroying all of the equipment that was stored with less than three months to go for the Schools Rugby League. This prompted a call for help to the rugby fraternity to re-build the shattered hopes of the young lads.
The Rugby team of C.W.W Kannangara College, Colombo 08 has shown immense progress in their skills and quality performances on the rugby field in the recent past. Despite being ill-equipped and underestimated, the Kannangara rugby team made their maiden entry into the “A” division Group “A” in 2015 and have been frequent contenders for a shot in the top division ever since.
However, this young rugby outfit faced a tragic situation when the rugby room that stored all the training equipment and training gear caught fire – burning everything along with the College’s rugby dream, last week.
The team had high hopes of making their way back to the top as they faced a lot of controversy in the last season. The 2018 season was set to be the year they step up their game, but after the unfortunate fire that could have shattered all their dreams, the ‘Kanna’ lads are not ready to give up so easy.
With only a few more months remaining for the 2018 Schools League to commence, any support from well-wishers and sports enthusiasts would be highly appreciated as the young players are currently helpless with no way of training, as everything other than a few old rugby balls were burned to ashes.
With Christmas around the corner, ThePapare.com urges the rugby fraternity to come forward to help out an aspiring bunch of schoolboys to continue living their dream in the sport. The rugby development committee is in need of quick financial funds to replace all of the damaged equipment so that the boys could get back to the training ground.
Lend a hand this Christmas and help keep the dream of rugby alive. Interested donours can donate any possible amount via the following account.
