Damsith Rathnayake to command Dharmaraja Rugby

Dharmaraja College was the last school to carry a rugby league title to the hill country, but importantly way back in 2013 under the captaincy of Rochana Hettiarachchi. After a silence of a decade, Rajans Rugby is confident that they will be able to rise out of the ashes to display a superior performance.

Powerhouse and Center Three-Quarter, Damsith Rathnayake will lead the lads who are preparing in picturesque Kandy Lake View Grounds to clinch another silverware. During the upcoming league, blistering runs and powerful hands off of Damsith will be a threat to even a rock solid defence. Further he is a multifaceted player who can also play as a fly-half due to his trusted boots.
