Hapugoda reaches personal milestone

• Will play 100th game of his career today

Mithum Hapugoda will reach a personal milestone in his rugby career by playing in his 100th game when his team Havelocks lock horns with Kandy SC in a crucial inter club rugby match today at Havelock Park.

Mithum made his club debut way back in 2012 for Havelocks against Army in a rugby league game, Hapugoda has donned the Park Club Jersey for over a decade, maintaining his loyalty to the club without swapping clubs for petty benefits.

 An old boy of Mahanama College, Colombo, he is a specialised player in the back division. He has also played as a winger and scrum half, while playing a pivotal role in being the last man in defence as a full back.

 He was chosen to lead the Sri Lanka sevens national team in 2014, later moving into the 15-a side at the same level. He is a player who has maintained his physique and given his best whether in school, club or at National level.

 The Park Club management wishes him all the very best in his future endeavours.
