Thomas' Cricket Match, is played over 3 days in the month of March in the city of Colombo. S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia, a private Anglican school has about 2,500 boys on roll, while Royal college Colombo, a government-run non-denominational school accommodates approximately 8,000, making it the largest school in the country. Origins of School Cricket in Ceylon The early origins of S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia date ba ck to 1851 when it was located in Mutwal, Colombo. It is the first Ceylonese school to play cricket - beginning 1864 against the Small Pass Cricket Club in Colombo. This is also the first recorded instance of a cricket match between two Ceylonese teams pla yed in Ceylon. S. Thomas' was represented in this historic match by G. A. Edward, W. De. Livera, K.

  • The Beginning the Roman Catholic Church Had Established Itself in the Maritime Areas from 1505. in 1820 the Superior of All
    The Beginning The Roman Catholic Church had established itself in the Maritime areas from 1505. In 1820 the superior of all the Oratorians in Ceylon, Vincent de Rozairo, himself came as the first missionary to Kandy. He put up a church, which occupied the very same grounds whereon the present Scots Kirk stands. In 1828 the Scots Kirk site was found to be too small and hilly and accordingly a petition was submitted to the Governor - General Sir Edward Barnes who promptly presented the Catholic Church with a new site. It was roughly a square 152 ft. by 150 ft. upon which the second Roman Catholic Church was built. This is the very same site on which St. Anthony's Cathedral stands today. It was realized that building churches alone would not contribute to the success of the missionary efforts that commenced in 1820. In September 1843, an Italian Oratorian, Fr. Orazio Bettacchini was sent to the Kandyan mission who, during his missionary year 1843/44, opened a school in Kandy on the same premises. But, in August 1844, his successor Fr. Reinaud, who continued as missionary until 1848, began his missionary career by pulling down the school, which Fr. Bettacchini had put up. This was the subject of a letter of complaint made by Fr. Bettacchini himself. Letter from Mgr. Bravi to Fr. Zoppi Yet, it was not until November 1853, when Fr. Felice Zoppi, a Franciscan from the Chinese missionary field was sent to Kandy by Monsignor Joseph Maria Bravi D.d., O.S.B., that Fr. Bettacchini's complaint was looked in to.

  • May 2016 Issue 1
    May 2016 – Volume 20 – Issue 1 2 The President’s Message The 2016 Thomian OBA Calendar was kicked off in February with our first ever Open Mic Night, followed by the AGM. The Royal-Thomian Stag Night and Cricket Festival followed in March and in April the OBA facilitated the live telecast of the Royal-Thomian Rugby encounter at Upali’s Restaurant in Syndal. The Open Mic Night was a success by all measures and the enthusiastic participation of several talented young and old Thomians suggests that the Open Mic Night will continue to be a popular fixture in the OBA calendar. At the AGM, further to a lively discussion on finances, subscription payments, membership rolls and related matters, the new Executive Committee was elected. The introduction of credit card based payment facilities at the AGM allowed many of those present to pay their subs and also purchase OBA merchandise (cuff-links, ties, Thomian Crested shot glasses, etc.). In the next few months, we plan to further enhance our revenue collection capabilities with the introduction of internet banking (BPAY) and web based payment mechanisms. The Royalists organised this year’s Stag Night and it was a well patronised event, full of fellowship and good cheer, as in recent years. The Royalists also organised this year’s Roy-Tho Cricket Festival and they did well to host the event at the picturesque Melbourne High School grounds. The beautiful surrounds, the sound of leather on willow, the cheers, the music, the food and the decorations helped create an ambiance that reminded us the cricketing encounters back home.
