Maliban, the pioneering biscuit manufacturer in the country, proudly celebrates its 60 years of business excellence this year, where the company is organising a series of events to mark six decades of providing the country with nothing but the best of products.
Among the series of celebratory activities, which includes numerous religious and CSR ventures, is the Maliban Mercantile 6-A-Side Cricket Tournament 2015, which will take place on 15 March from 8 a.m. onwards at BRC Grounds.
At the tournament, over 32 mercantile teams—including some of the best mercantile teams in the country—will compete for the A G Hinniappuhamy Memorial Trophy. The company has partnered with the Mercantile Softball Cricket Association (MSCA) in obtaining the necessary guidance to conduct the tournament adhering to the set regulations and standards of MSCA. The top three teams who will emerge as winners and top performers in terms of bowling, batting and fielding will receive attractive cash prices, certificates and trophies.
Commenting on the venture, Bandula Perera, Group General Manager (HR & Administration) shared, “Maliban is one of the best household brands in the country. We celebrate our 60th anniversary this year due to the manufacturing excellence of the company and thanks to our loyal consumers. As a company, we initiated various CSR projects and religious activities representing all religions to commemorate the 60th year. Cricket has been one of the most popular sports in the country, hence in line with our anniversary celebrations, we decided to organise a six-a-side softball cricket tournament. I am proud to state that we have received overwhelming responses from mercantile teams, and I would like to invite all sports enthusiasts to come to BRC grounds on 15 March to cheer their favourite teams.”
