The finals of the DSI Super Sport Schools Volleyball Championship, which provides a pathway for young school volleyball players to reach the national level, will be held tomorrow (14) and the day after (15) at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium in Colombo.
Sponsored by D. Samson and Sons (Pvt) Ltd, this will be the 24th edition of the tournament, which attracted more than 2,500 teams from across the country during its preliminary rounds.
A total of 10 finals will be played over the two days. Tomorrow’s programme (14) will feature the Under-11, Under-13 and Under-15 boys’ and girls’ finals, while the Under-17 and Under-19 boys’ and girls’ championship matches will be played on Sunday (15).
Last year’s double champions, Naththandiya Dhammissara National School, have qualified for four finals this year. However, Ruwanwella Rajasinghe College, which won two titles last year, has failed to reach the finals this time.
Naththandiya President’s College, Hungama Vijayaba National School and Marawila St. Xavier’s College have each secured places in two finals.
Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya is expected to attend tomorrow’s matches, while the closing ceremony and awards presentation will be held under the patronage of Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage.
