Roshan Weeraratne leads Kandy SC

Former Kingswood, Sri Lankan Sevens and Fifteens player, Roshan Weeraratne will lead the strong Kandy Sports Club in their 2016/2017 rugby season. Kandy will kick-off the season with an away game against CH & FC to be played at the Race Course at Royal Complex. This venue change is due to the ongoing Cricket season and the previous choice of venue being used by the Colombo Cricket Club (CCC)
