Western Samoan to prop Royal rugby

By Bernie Wijesekera

In 2005 Royal College rugby hit a new low. Beaten by Trinity after four years of dominating the Bradby history the Reid Avenue School were outplayed and outclassed in both legs.

The Chairman of the Royal College Rugby Committee C.R. de Silva – a leading light in the official Bat got the act-together.

They have got the services of an international class western Samoan coach Pa Enari. He is a Level III (New Zealand) and Level II (Australian Rugby Board). Pa will coach them in the coming season. Strongly built Enari has been coaching with much success since 1986.

Pa Enari, a high performance unit coach is here on a one year contract. Nizam Jamaldeen, will assist Enari.

But this is his first assignment in Sri Lanka he said. ‘The boys are keen to learn and listen and I am happy to coach them. Royal rugby has a rich rugby heritage I’ll be here for the entire season. At the end of September I will plan an infrastructure for next year at grassroots level.
