Sudath Sampath most likely to take over STC rugby

Former Sri Lanka sevens skipper and Police SC coach Sudath Sampath has been tipped to take on the rugby 1st XV coaching duties at S.Thomas’ College for the 2011 season.

S.Thomas’ College who were coached by Mothilal Jayathilike during the previous season will go in to the 2011 season with just a few seniors in their ranks. After finishing the 2010 season at 5th place in the league standings, the Thomians under the captaincy of Dinuk Amarasinghe will be determined to make a mark in the upcoming season.

Sudath Smapath the current Police SC coach was tipped to take over the Thomians with former Anthony’s coach and STC technical coach Nihal ‘Viper’ Gunaratne being the other contender for the head coach position.  Sudath Sampath who is known to be one of the best ever sevens players produced by the country came in to the national rugby team in 1990 where he turned out for the Italy sevens at the age of 20. Sampath who is more famously known as the ‘Little Serevi of Sri Lankan’ was a complete treat to watch in full flow and can make any oppositions look like mere armatures with his nippy footwork and fast breaks.

Sampath who is currently in charge of the Police SC team had a good season this year ending up with some spirited performances especially with Navy SC. The level 2 qualified coach is an interesting addition to the Thomian ranks and will be exciting to see the outcome next year.
