David Pieris Group has always been a strong proponent of sports, encouraging its employees to participate as well as supporting sports among the mercantile sector. They greatly value skills and values that sports, and particularly, team sports inculcate in our employees. A sense of competition, the importance of teamwork, leveraging individual skills for collective success, the ability to think on your feet, strategic and tactical play, falling in line with the captain’s plan and delivering what is required – all of which are critical for success in today’s corporate world.

The MCA and its league tournaments continue to create and deliver great value. It provides a platform and opportunity for men who love the sport to continue to play the game even after they leave school and enter the corporate world as well as giving sportsmen advantage when seeking employment.

Currently David Pieris Group’s teams participate in mercantile cricket, athletics, volleyball, hockey, basketball, netball, and badminton.
