Kingswood College, who have been nicknamed as “the lads from Randle Hills” and are known to be the pioneers of school Rugby in Sri Lanka, are determined to reclaim the glory after their last success in 2008 (under the captaincy of Gayan Ratnage).
Dynamic player and nippy scrum-half Thaveesha Ekanayake has been appointed as the Captain of Kingswood Rugby outfit. Thaveesha is a fourth year player who inspired the entire three quarter line during last season. Further he is a versatile player who can also play as a center three-quarter.
