Land Rover is proudly supporting St. Anthony’s College Kandy in the Singer Schools Rugby League 2014.
St. Anthony’s, founded in 1854, although primarily a cricketing school, started playing rugby in 1956 and has risen steadily in the ranks. In 1972, it beat Trinity College for the first time and rose in stature through the years. In 2001 and 2005 they were all island champions and since have been Singer Sri Lankan rugby 7s champions three times.
This year St. Anthony’s College is led by Damien Wijesuriya (Captain). This young team is focused and hungry for victory under the guidance of their coach Theo Serafim.
“Land Rover is committed to provide support to help stimulate sustainable growth and success of top flight Rugby. We are the worldwide partner of The Rugby World Cup 2015. Similarly, in Sri Lanka, SML Frontier is committed to support and Nurture schools Rugby. Land Rover and Rugby have shared values – integrity, courage, pride, composure and capability. These values are required to create great competitive Rugby and world class all terrain vehicles. SML Frontier wish St Anthony’s all the very best of luck in their upcoming matches – play tough!” said Sheran Fernando, Managing Director, SML Frontier Automotive.
Since Land Rover’s inception in 1948 when it introduced the Series I, which was primarily a utilitarian work vehicle, it too have risen in the ranks. Most recently the multi award winning Range Rover Evoque, with its ground breaking design, to the all new Range Rover have taken Land Rover to new levels of opulence, luxury and craftsmanship whilst still remaining true to its core value – off road capability.
Land Rover is privileged to support St. Anthony’s College Kandy in the Singer Schools Rugby league. This is regarded as the most competitive league in schools rugby and enables rugby fans, Land Rover customers and the public to experience Land Rover’s brand philosophy and connect through a shared passion for the sport.
