Inspired performances by teams from companies in the Brandix Group have resulted in Sri Lanka’s top apparel exporter sending four teams to the six finals of the Mercantile Volleyball Association which are to be played on 25 and 27 November.
Reiterating their dominance in the preliminary rounds of the 2016 tournament, these teams will represent Brandix in the Men’s and Women’s Super League finals, the Men’s Championship and the Men’s ‘A’ Division final.
Two other Brandix teams came third in the Women’s Super League and the ‘A’ Division during the semi-finals of this year’s tournament, reflecting the Group’s extensive engagement with the sport.
The Brandix teams vying for Mercantile Volleyball’s highest honours at the 2016 finals are Brandix Fast Fashion – Minuwangoda (Men’s Super League), Brandix Green Plant – Seeduwa (Women’s Super League), Brandix Athleisure – Polonnaruwa (Men’s Championship) and Brandix Athleisure – Katunayake (Men’s ‘A’ Division).

In all, 88 teams representing mercantile sector entities competed in the preliminary rounds of this year’s tournament.
Sri Lanka’s Exporter of the Year since 2012 and the highest employment provider in the country’s export industry, Brandix conducts its own annual volleyball tournament for the ‘Rasadiya Kusalanaya’ (Mercury Trophy), which is considered the largest volleyball tournament organised by a private company in the country.
