The FHA Sports Festival 2019 was organised by Siyapatha Finance along with the FHASL under the guidance of of the Siyapatha Finance Managing Director and Sports Committee Chairman Ananda Seneviratne and FHASL Chairman Roshan Abeygoonewardena.

Held recently at the Bloomfield Grounds, the fiesta was made up of a number of activities including cricket, rugby, athletics, volleyball, netball, and an FHA ‘King and Queen’ competition. This year’s FHA King and runner-up were both from Siyapatha Finance. The Siyapatha Team secured the runner-up prize at the Women’s Cricket Tournament while the Best Female Cricketer award went to a member of the Siyapatha Finance staff.

I could not be prouder of the performance of our staff members,” said Seneviratne.
