Ananda College Western Province U20 Team - A Journey of Resilience and Triumph

The Western Province Under-20 team of Ananda College has made us proud by securing the 2nd Runners-Up position in the highly competitive tournament. This achievement marks not just a trophy on the shelf but a testament to resilience, dedication, and the unyielding spirit of our young athletes.

This wasn’t just a tournament — it was a journey of resilience. The team faced setbacks, tough pushbacks, and moments that tested their resolve. Yet, through every challenge, they never stopped believing and fighting — not only for themselves but for the unwavering faith of our Principal, Mr. D. M. L. P. Dissanayake, whose belief in their potential was a guiding light throughout.

Years ago, this moment seemed distant. The team always wanted to gift this victory to their mentor, but even when circumstances didn’t allow it, the Principal’s faith never wavered. That unshakable belief fueled their determination to keep pushing forward.

Today, by earning the 2nd Runners-Up title, they have fulfilled a promise and realized a shared dream. This victory is a heartfelt “thank you” to all who stood by them — coaches, teachers, well-wishers, and the entire Ananda College family.

We congratulate the Western Province U20 team for their outstanding performance and dedication. Your grit and spirit inspire all Anandians to strive for excellence no matter the obstacles.

May this achievement be a stepping stone toward even greater success in the future.
