The 2nd edition of TPT Hockey Carnival (Trinity, St. Peter’s, S. Thomas’ Hockey Carnival) is to be held on the 10th of September 2016 at the St. Peter’s College Grounds, Bambalapitiya.
The event is organized for the second successive time by the old boys of Trinity College, St. Peter’s College and S. Thomas’ College to strengthen the bond between the three schools.
All three schools have a strong background in hockey and this time it is going to be a seven-a-side hockey tournament between these three schools. St. Peter’s College Bambalapitiya will be hosting the carnival this year as S. Thomas’ College hosted the event last September.
The event this time is organized in such a way where the old boys of their respective schools can enjoy the day with their former teammates. To make this a fun-filled family event, stalls and fun activities have been arranged by the committee.
The matches will be conducted in 5 different categories with the Under 19 tournament being the most anticipated category of the event. The other four categories will be U-15, 20 to 30, 30 to 40 & 40 above. The U-15 category is the latest addition to the tournament.
Apart from making this a fun filled event, the organizing committee has decided to sponsor hockey equipment for one player from each school as a Social Responsibility project.
S. Thomas’ College will be walking in this year as defending champions of the u-19 category. St. Peter’s College emerged winners in the 20 to 30 and 40 above categories defeating Trinity in the very first edition of TPT last year.
The winners of the respective categories will walk away with the separate challenge shields. Mario Joseph & Godwin Solomons from St. Peter’s College have donated the 20 to 30 shield, the 30 to 40 challenge shield is donated by the Old Trinitians Sports Club (OTSC) and the over 40’s challenge shield is donated by Dr. Sarath de Alwis-Seneviratne in memory of his father.
The opening ceremony of the 2nd TPT Hockey Carnival has been scheduled to start at 8.30 am. The Chief Guest for the opening ceremony will be Vice Rector of St. Peter’s College and Old Boys’ Association President or Secretary. The closing ceremony will be graced by the Heads of all three schools and is expected to start at 5.30 pm.
