Trinity College Kandy, one of the most prominent institutions that introduced rugby to schools in the country, has a rich tradition of over 113 years with the sport. Trinity has been in the schools rugby scene without any interruption since 1906 to date and has been consistently producing top rugby teams over the years.
The school has been contributing to the game by producing many national players, captains, referees and administrators. Kandurata Umbrellas made its name in a different manner, conquering the world of business, with a breakthrough product line-up, spearheaded by the superior quality umbrellas since the company was founded in 1978.
The sponsorship benefits both parties in its own ways, Trinity College will receive the support from one of the most prominent brands in the country in their rugby endeavours as well as the grooming process of talented ruggerites, while Kandurata Umbrellas will see the young stars carrying the company’s name along with their success in the field of schools rugby this season.
Kandurata is a corporate leader that is in the forefront of promoting sports in Sri Lanka. They have been the clothing sponsor of the Sinhalese Sports Club cricket team continuously for the past seven years and has been exclusively working with TAFA (Thaabit Ahmed Football Academy) sponsoring them and backing them in many ways.
