A historic reunion on the Benedictine turf today
-
ON the hallowed grounds of St. Benedict's College, Colombo 13, where generations of young men once chased dreams and footballs with equal fervour, a remarkable event is set to unfold.
Today (5 September), the college will host a one-of-a-kind football tournament — bringing together Benedictine footballers aged over 60 for a celebration of legacy, camaraderie, and enduring passion.
This isn’t just another match day. It’s a moment in history. As part of the college’s 160th anniversary, the Old Benedictine footballers have organised a memorial service and mini 7-a-side tournament, believed to be the first-ever football event of its kind in Sri Lanka, and possibly in Asia or even the world.
