The ‘top dog’ of the local rugby arena Kandy SC has announced that the reins of captaincy will be passed on to senior player Saliya Kumara who has been a integral part of the Kandy SC line up during the last couple of seasons.
Saliya will take on the responsibilities from team mate Fazil Marija who skippered the side in the 2010 season to a league and knock-out win for the umpteenth time this year. Saliya Kumara who began his rugby at Vidyartha College moved to Trinity College where he blossomed in to a solid player. Soon after his move from school he joined Havelock’s sports club where he made his debut in club rugby. After a stint of three years at Havelock’s he then moved to CH&FC where he played for two years before moving back to the hills to represent the local rugby giants Kandy SC where he has been for three years.
Kumara who made his debut in the Sri Lankan line up in the year 2006 has been a regular member of the side manning the number nine position. He is one of the most versatile players in club rugby and has the capabilities of fitting in at any given position in the three-quarter line.
