The 11th edition of the Bradby Golf tournament will tee off on 24 July at the picturesque Victoria Golf Resort, Rajawella, on the eve of the second leg of the 80th Bradby Shield rugby encounter in Kandy. The annual contest between the old boys of Trinity College and Royal College will be powered by VISA for the first time.
More than 60 golfers from the two schools are expected to compete for the prestigious G.C. Wickremasinghe Trophy, while the Victoria Bowl, now an established board event at VGR, will also be played under the Stableford format, with the best five scores from each team counting towards the team title.
Trinity is led by Asiri Ariyaratne, while Royal is led by Saliya Jayaweera.
After last year’s contest ended in a tie, both teams will be eager to regain bragging rights in one of Sri Lanka’s most anticipated inter-school golfing events. The tournament is partnered by Softlogic Life, Yeti, and VGR. (SJ)
