PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Message from the Principal – Mr.Weerathunga

Message from the Principal

It gives me great pleasure to have been requested to issue a message as the head of the institution at this juncture of introducing an official web site for Thurstan College.

I am really proud and happy on this special occasion as students of Thurstan College ventured to introduce a web site for the college of? their own. Presently, time is so precious that men, women & children endeavor to get the maximum return in? a short time.

Considering the latest technological advancement, the advantage of having an official web site no doubt facilitates global access. Any one who has access to internet can obtain the required information at the press of a button.

Those Thurstanites and others who are living away from us could obtain upto date information concerning college activities such as the on going development project of the college play ground at Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo-07, etc. I sincerely hope old Thurstanites living in different parts of the globe will make use of this web site.

Sometime ago the telephone was considered to be an advanced mode of communication but today with the introduction of web sites, etc. It has become very convenient in extracting global information within a short time.

Web sites have become very popular in the commercial sphere since time factor is very vital in business related activities.

I wish the students concerned good luck on their maiden attempt and trust that more and more novel attempts such as this may be introduced for the common benefit of all.

Maasmulla century guides Thurstan to victory in Limited Overs Match

A blistering century by Thilina Maasmulla (102) piloted Thurstan to an exciting two-wicket win over Isipatana in their 24th annual limited over encounter for W.A. de Silva challenge trophy played at Saravanamuttu Stadium, Colombo yesterday.

Put into bat, Isipatana made 213 all out in 49.3 overs. They were strongly placed at 157 for 2 at one stage but the rest of the batsmen failed to capitalise on the early advantage. There were five run outs in Isipatana innings, which was boosted earlier by half centuries by Tharaka Waduge and Mario Amarasinghe.

The win never looked in Thurstan’s reach after they were slumped for 103 for 6.

But it was then that Maasmulla stood between Isipatana’s win and Thurstan’s defence. He took Isipatana bowlers to task in his match winning knock of 102 which completely turned the match in Thurstan’s favour. Maasmulla had one six and 13 boundaries as Thurstan finally reached the target, making 216 for 8 in 39.3 overs.

Isipatana: 213 all out in 49.3 overs (Tharaka Waduge 58, Saman Nishantha 23, Mario Amarasinghe 59, Sankalpa 24, Sanjaya Dilruksha 14, Isuru Vindana 13 n.o, C. Wickremaratne 2 for 43).

Thurstan: 216 for 8 in 39.3 overs (H. Galagoda 26, Thilina Maasmulla 102, N. Sankalpa 3 for 49, S. Nishantha 3 for 37).

Old Thurstanite Sampath Perera Appointed as National Soccer Coach

Thirty eight year old Kolonnage Mayura Sampath Perera has been appointed by the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) national soccer coach to succeed the Brazilian Marcos Vimcius Mot Ferreira.   Sampath Perera who led the Sri Lanka football team from 1993 was promoted to the rank of sergeant by the Air Force when Sri Lanka under his leadership won the SAARC Gold Cup in 1995. Perera is an old Thurstanite.       

Sampath to focus on young blood

by Gamini Perera

Thirty eight year old Kolonnage Mayura Sampath Perera has been appointed by the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) national soccer coach to succeed the Brazilian Marcos Vimcius Mot Ferreira.

Perera’s sole intention will be to deliver the goods especially with the promising youngsters.

“The year ahead is going to be a crucial one, with the national team called upon to face new challenges, as well as tough opposition. My strategy will be to strengthen the ranks of the team by introducing talented young blood, while continuing to depend on the experience of the senior players,” said Perera.

Sri Lanka is scheduled to meet Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Uzbekistan in the second rounds of the World Cup qualifying round and to also host those countries in the same tournament. The Under-23 team will participate in the SAF Games in Islamabad, Pakistan in March this year. “Those talented players from the Under-23 team will be on focus with the intention of roping them into the senior squad,” said Perera.

Perera also said that, “the training centre for football at Beddegana, Kotte will be ideal for the national team to practise there. This centre, which is now in its concluding stage could be used by our national squad”.

Profile

Sampath Perera who led the Sri Lanka football team from 1993 was promoted to the rank of sergeant by the Air Force when Sri Lanka under his leadership won the SAARC Gold Cup in 1995. Perera is an old Thurstanite.

He also toured many countries with the Sri Lanka team. Maldives, India, Pakistan, Japan, Bangladesh, Oman, Dubai and Nepal are some of them.

Speaking on the recent performances of the national team, Perera said that our boys when on the field in recent times have shown a much more positive approach and are playing with purpose and a strong spirit.

A few of the achievements Sri Lanka gained under the leadership of Perera were (a) winning the Gold Medal in the SAARC Gold Cup tournament, (b) winning the Silver Medal at SAF Games and the SAARC tournament and (c) winning the Bronze medal at the SAF Games.

The above tournaments were between 1993 and 1995 under the two Brazilians Jorge and Marcos Ferreira.
