Tennis whiz

By Nilika de Silva

How does it feel to be 13 and have won the 14 and under, 16 and under, 18 and under and everything else in sight? Well, Bishopian Mahesha Seneviratne knows the answer.

Mahesha who was introduced to the game at the age of eight by her elder brother, Janaka, while she was studying at Sangamitta Vidyalaya, Colombo says someday she wants to play at Wimbledon and bring glory to Sri Lanka.

Tennis is a strenuous sport, involving hours of practice and tons of discipline. Mahesha has the determination to see it through. Putting in more than three hours of practice, four days a week at SLTA where she is among the eight players in the SLTA squad, High Performance 2, and undergoing another four hours private coaching, this youngster has proved beyond all doubt that she has what it takes.

Having just returned from the Asian Schools Girls' Under18 in Jakarta, Indonesia, she says it was thanks to her coach Sudantha Soysa that she was able to reach these heights.

This tennis whiz who has been the top seed in the Under10, Under 12, Under14 and Under16 is the daughter of a police officer and a stenographer, and has achieved the remarkable feat of bringing tennis closer to the people.

We normally associate tennis with the wealthy but young Mahesha who makes her way to practices and back by bus, has proved that the number of zeros in your parents' pay cheques has nothing to do with reaching the top.

The first time Mahesha represented Sri Lanka abroad was in 1997 at the Under14 International Tennis Federation tournament in Bangladesh.

The list of tournaments this kid has won is indeed dazzling. 'How many tournaments have you played in?' I ask incredulously. 'About fifty', she says without much ado. 

I glance through a book containing Mahesha's certificates and that alone is so time-consuming I wonder how this thirteen-year-old with schoolwork and other activities found the time to play so much tennis let alone win so many tournaments.

Among her many titles are Winner Girls' Under I0 - 1996; Winner Junior National Championships of Sri Lanka 1997, 12 and under and 14 and under; Winner Junior Hard Court Tennis Championship Singles 12 and Under and 14 and Under; Winner Kraft's Junior Masters Tennis Open Championship Under 12 Girls' and Under 14 Girls' Winner Fischer Tennis Championship Girls' Under 14 Singles (June 97); Winner Fischer Tennis Championship l998 Girls' Under 12 Singles; Winner Nine Heart Junior Tennis Championship 1997 Under 12; Winner Junior Nationals Tennis Championship 1998 Singles Girls' 12 and Under and 14 and Under; Winner Moors Open Junior Ranking Tournament 1998 Girls' Under 14 Singles and Girls' Under 16 Singles and the list goes on .....

Mahesha was taken to Bishop's College in Year 6, and is very grateful to the Principal Mrs.Lily Jayasuriya for selecting her to this school. Her coach at Bishop's is Mr. Ganendran Subramaniam.

Having started playing in 1994, Mahesha emerged Runner-up at her very first tournament the 7th Junior Ranking Tennis Tournament, Girls' Under I0 Singles, in 1995 .

Mahesha who received school colours every year since 1997, received National School Colours this year, on November 15 at the BMICH.

At the Junior Nationals held on the 26 of last month she emerged champion in the Under 14, 16 and 18 categories and obtained the Best Performance Award.

Her mother Mallika Jayasinghe and father P. Seneviratne give Mahesha all the encouragement to pursue her tennis as they feel it will help her in her future. Her father also said that if a company was interested in coming forward to sponsor Mahesha's tennis it would be appreciated as Mahesha definitely shows promise of a great future in the sport.

Mahesha wishes to thank the SLTA officials and also Mr. Arjun Perera who helped her a great deal to come up in the sport. Even at such a young age she has the rare honour of having an ITS world ranking.

This year Mahesha won the Women's International Club Championships in the Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18 categories. The SLTA Playing Section in these three categories, and the Under 16 Championship of the Otters Club. In the SLTA Junior Nationals Hard Court Championships Mahesha emerged champion in the Under 14 and semi-finalist in the Under 16. In September at the All Island School Games 1999 Western Province, she emerged Runner-up, Under 19 Girls', representing Bishop's College.

We look forward to seeing this youngster achieving her goals, and making Sri Lanka a name on International Tennis Courts.


Basketball bounces high

Basketball after a lapse of long time started to bounce high with the promotion programme organised by Sri Lanka Amateur Basketball Federation with the support of Police Basketball, Sri Lanka Veteran Basketball Association and Colombo District Basketball Association said Nowfel Mahroof Co-ordinating Secretary of this programme.

Mini basketball coaching for boys and girls between the ages of 8 - 12 years commenced with participation of large numbers, which prompted the organisers to conduct the coaching clinic at Police Field Forces Basketball Court and "Kings Court" - Otter's Aquatic Club. Originally it was planned to have the clinics at one venue. 

"But due to unexpected large numbers reporting for the clinic we were compelled to add another venue, said Nowfel."

Sri Lanka Amateur Basketball Federation under the presidentship of former National coach, National player and old Benedictine Malsiri Perera, was responsible for planning this programme.

Indra de Silva, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Administration) Chairman Police Basketball, former University, YMCA and Dharmasoka player made this programme take off the ground.

Mark Fernando, President Colombo District Basketball Association and former Josephian sharpshooter's ambition has been fulfilled by conducting this mini basketball coaching programme.

Capt. Mathew George, President Sri Lanka Veterans Basketball Association, former president Sri Lanka Basketball Federation and former Army player who's masterbrain made this programme a great success.

Mini basketball coaching progamme will be conducted from 03.45 P.M. to 06.00 P.M. on Saturdays at Police Field Force Basketball Court at Thimbirigasyaya and on Sunday's at "Kings Court" - Otter's Aquatic Club from 07.30 P.M. to 09.30 A.M. for six months said Nowfel Mahroof.


Rohan defies all 

Rohan de Silva set a blistering pace to stave off stiff competition by Sheran and Rajitha Cooke in the Open event of the Caltex All Island GoKart Championship - round 4 at the Alcatras Kart Track, Kotte. Rohan won the International event as well keeping in check a determined Sheran Cooke.

The National event in GoKarting saw Rajitha Cooke in brilliant form winning the event followed by S. A. Duminda and Shantha Suraweera who made his first appearance in the Championship.

The Yamaha Class which is an Intermediate stage in GoKarting saw young Dinesh Jayawardena winning the event followed by S. A. Sampath and Mickey Selvanayagam.

Dhanuka Nadeera collected 10 valuable Championships points and won the 4th Round in the ProKart Championship in a close event followed by Dejan de Zoysa in second place and Ameed Deanne third. Zulfi Sulaiman was also in the final finishing fourth.

Ladies ProKarting which is growing in popularity saw Ruvi de Alwis handling the Kart very confidently to win the race followed by Mihiri de Silva and 9-year-old Dehara de Zoysa. In fourth place was 3rd Round winner Quadijah Ismail.

The karting Championship has reached an interesting stage where honours are still up for grabs. The 4th Round saw a fantastic display of power Karting by the likes of Rohan de Silva, the Cooke brothers, Yoga Perera and Romani de Silva. Spectators were fortunate to witness nail-biting finishes in almost every event and the standard of Karting has taken a leap forward.

The Championship is organised by the Motor Racing Association of Sri Lanka and sponsored by Caltex Lubricants Ltd

Cricketing fever keeps spreading

By Aubrey Kuruppu

At the time of writing, eight of the nine Test playing nations are involved in international cricket and the ninth is poised to do so in the very near future.

The sheer, staggering amount of cricket being played causes confusion and is like a drug that dulls Sanath Jayasuriyathe brain.

One moment its Chandigarh the next its Perth, Centurion Park now and Bulawayo the next. 

To put it differently, the blistering brilliance of a Tendulkar at one moment and the bristling aggression of a Michael Slater on a run-riot the next. From the rapidly maturing all round skills of a multi-talented Shaun Pollock to the fitful skills of a master blaster Sanath Jayasuriya - who is perhaps weighed down by the cares of captaincy.

But there is a crumb of comfort. The cricket currently being played on far-flung fields is of the longer duration. "Tests" are exactly what they mean: a battle of wits and skills between two teams of similar strength, where no quarter is asked and none given.

Performances in Test matches endure longer in the memory: those in one day internationals tend to be ephemerial. Thus Sachin Tendulkar's unbeaten 186, however pulverisingly excellent it was will, in future be recalled less often than Brian Lara's 375 or even Sobers' 365.

The Indians asserted their superiority early on in their three Test series against the Kiwis having obtained the psychologically important lead. They made sure there was no comeback by the New Zealanders. From an Indian point of view, the continued good form of Sadagopan Ramesh (a player who has minimal footwork, one who stands and delivers) and the emergence of the other opener Devang Gandhi bode well for the future. 

Add the combined talents of Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly and the Indian line up takes on a formidable appearance. Sadly Jadeja given another go as a middle order bat failed to come good.

Skipper Fleming continues to baffle and amaze. He seems unable to build on good starts. Horne showed a liking for Indian bowling while Cairns, McMillan and Astle confirmed their high reputations. Vettori's rise to eminence was perhaps the most satisfying factor.

The Aussies made it two-out-of-two against Pakistan when they annihilated them by 10 wickets at Brisbane. The younger Waugh may have struggled in Sri Lankan conditions but he was back to his best in the Test. Slater, Blewett and debutant Gilchrist piled on the agony for the hugely talented but infuriatingly inconsistent team from the sub-continent.

Saeed Anwar, enjoying a huge slice of luck, stroked his way to a century. However, the form of Yussof Youhana (74 and 96) must have warmed the cockles of Pakistani hearts. Youhana, an elegant stroker of the ball, is certainly their best bet for the future, batting-wise - Shoaib Akhtar was made aware that pace alone wasn't good enough while skipper Akram was moderate. 

South Africa cock-a-hoop after that swift demolition job on Zimbabwe, will shortly take on an English side that has been at sixes and sevens in recent times. Last time out, in England, the South Africans justifiably felt cheated by the umpires - neutral or otherwise. One recalls in particular that disallowed catch off Atherton and Donald's furious eye-ball to eye-ball confrontation with the former English skipper.

Atherton it was, who had thwarted the South African in a Test earlier on with that monumental 185 not out - most of the runs coming in tandem with that unlikely hero, Jack Russell. Even on the current tour, Atherton has looked in good touch while the likes of Stewart and Butcher have really struggled.

The South Africans have no such problems. Skipper Cronje has shown that he has another fairly potent, string to his bow. In fact, every thing seems rosy in their camp, with even their 'A' team enjoying immense success.

Fresh from a well-earned win over the Aussies, the Sri Lankans encounter a Zimbabwean side that is generally short of confidence. To add to their woes, Streak and Paul Strang are out through injury and Allistair Campbell has given up the reins to concentrate on run getting.

Sri Lankans' safety valve and batsman par excellence, Aravinda de Silva has opted out and this void is difficult to fill. On their previous tour of Zimbabwe the Sri Lankans found the home team a tough nut to crack. The chances are that they will be a little less resilient this time round. Can Sri Lanka capitalise on that?


Veteran Prematunga is bound for Kuala Lumpur

By Raju Sally

W.S.M. Prematunge, Prefect-of-Games of Dharmadutha Maha Vidyalaya, Badulla, has been selected to represent Sri Lanka at the 13th Malaysian (open) Veterans Athletic Championships to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on December 4 and 5 this year. 

This is the first time in the history of Uva Province that such an honour has been bestowed on a veteran athlete from Badulla district. 

For a period of 17 years Prematunge has been actively involved in sports, particularly soccer, athletics and hockey. He is also a qualified soccer referee. He is a former Sri Lanka long distance champion who had excelled at national level, winning his favourite events at the All-Island Meet conducted by the Kegalle District Veterans' Athletic Association in April this year. His other achievements are: 

In 1968 and 1969 emerged champion in the cross-country relay organised among some of the best schools in the island. 

In 1972 represented the Sri Lanka Army in the Amateur Athletics Association's Meet and created a new record in the 5000m event with a timing of 15 minutes 48 seconds. 

In 1975 improved this timing and also established a new record in 10,000 metres.

In1977 and 1978 selected as a national-level athletics coach and the best middle-distance runner. 

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Prematunge said: "Not only am I honoured by my being selected to represent Sri Lanka in Malaysia, but the credit is to my school and country as well." The prohibitive cost of around Rs. 40,000 required for this tour is beyond my reach, particularly in an outstation such as Badulla where sponsorship is rather difficult to get. Although with difficulty I have now raised the airfare, I am bidding against hopes that a kind philanthropist will come forward soon to be my saviour for the balance, he further said.

Royle: 27 years with Bloomfield

By Bernie Wijesekera

Royle Barthelot, an ardent supporter of cricket, who hails from St. Aloysius Galle, has rendered yeoman service to the century old Club, Bloomfield C & AC for 27 years. At the start of his tenure, the club was perched on four wheels at Campbell Park. 

Unlike today, Bloomfield, was struggling for their very existence. It was during this period Royle joined them in 1966. Along with personalities like late Hinton Gunaratne, C.A.P. Samarasekera, Terrence Perera, Bonnie Wijesinghe, D.P. Wickremaratchie and the present President, Shelley Wickremasinghe etc. who helped the club to surface. 

An umpire cum cricketer, Royle, was a jack of all trades. He served as Ground Secretary from 1967 - '70 Cricket Secretary from 1970 - '84. During this period Bloomfield was in the forefront in the local cricket scene. Barthelot played a dynamic role as an official on and off the field. He gave all encouragement and support to achieve success. In 1980 - '81 they won the Div. I title; the Lakspray Trophy - 1982 - '83; and Div. II in 1981 - '82; and Div. III in 1970. 

To the credit of Barthelot he spent much of his personal time ungrudgingly. 

In 1990, Royle, was made an Hony. Life Member for the services rendered. 

Though now retired from umpiring and leading a quiet life, Royle still continues to help the game among the youngsters at Raddoluwa M.V. 

His contribution is immense. In collaboration with his old schoolmate Harry Solomons the Chairman of Kingsgrove Sport Centre, in Sydney, Australia, Royle was able to get some Cricketing gear, to be distributed among deserving schools.

At a meeting in Las Vegas at the start of October, the Committee under the chairmanship of Sepp Blatter, the FIFA President, rejected a request by the AFC to face the winner of Oceania's qualifying group.
