After a decade-long hiatus from Division-A of the inter-school rugby championship, Ananda College has made a triumphant return, marking their presence with a dramatic victory that has electrified their supporters and the school’s sporting history.
Ananda College, who began the year by clinching the Division-B Plate Championship, secured promotion to the elite Division-A league. Their resurgence was further underscored with a commanding win against Science College, marking their first Division-A win in over ten years.
Building on that momentum, Ananda delivered a spectacular performance last Saturday in a nail-biting encounter against St. Anthony’s College. In a match that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Ananda edged out their opponents with a final score of 30-27, sealing a historic victory — their first against St. Anthony’s in over 20 years.
The win not only marks a major milestone in Ananda College’s rugby journey but also signals the team’s readiness to compete among the best in the country. With this comeback victory, Ananda’s rugby team has reignited hope and pride within their community, promising an exciting season ahead.
