Little Annite did Big! - Methoopa Dewnith qualified for 2022 Commonwealth Chess Championship

Annites are on a roll! Junior Annite Methoopa Dewnith will represent Sri Lanka at the 2022 Commonwealth Chess Championship.

Methoopa will play in the Under 10 Open category. Players from 8 Commonwealth nations are taking part in this tournament organized by the Chess Federation of Sri Lanka and will be held at the Citrus Waskaduwa Hotel, Kalutara.

What a big moment for little Methoopa! This came after we heard the other good news of our Pruthivi qualifying for the 6th South Asian Karate Championship, making this a jubilant coincidence for all Annites.

You won for the College. Now is the time to win for the country. We are all rooting for you.

Go Methoopa!

Looking back at Pruthivi's success

"Behind every successful man is his hard work and good mentors."

Pruthivi Sri Vitharana, the star of the moment stands center stage with glory. Nothing can be taken away from this young Annite, all of his hard work and sacrifice finally paid off. You deserve this moment, Pruthivi and we are so proud of you!
To his right, the Rev. Fr. Principal Chandana Hapuarachchi stands tall and has guided our boys all the way to success as has been repeated in recent years. To the left is the Teacher in-Charge, Ms. Theja Rathnayake Hangilipola, who took over just 2 years ago and walked the whole mileage with our players, motivating and fixing impediments. The gentleman on the far right is Pruthivi's coach, Mr. Padhma Sri Manjula, the one who taught all the karate moves from zero to final glory.

So there you have it, the perfect recipe for the 2022 South Asian ?Karate Championship's triumph. Shall we all take a moment and give a round of applause for this successful team effort.

Thus we conclude one milestone in the Annites sports chapter. Hopefully, there will be more to come.

Low-scoring thriller

St. Anne's College prevailed over Thurstan College in a low-scoring thriller.

At one point, Thurstan's scoreboard read 85/2, and the writing was pretty much on the wall until Annites' bowlers staged a strong comeback in front of the home crowd.

Mahima Kotuwila made a first-rated century

A masterful century was recorded by Mahima Kotuwila in the match against St. Joseph Vaz College at the 2022(2023) Under 19 Inter-school Cricket Tournament - Traditional Matches.

His score of 115 in the 2-Day Test Match came from 154 balls and was colored with 3 sixes and 7 fours.

Matheesha Weerasinghe propelled Devans to 331 on the Day 01

Matheesha of Maliyadeva College is the star today with his magnificent century.

Persevering Imraz Fayroze crowned Champion at 2022 Katukurunda Circuit Race

Annite alumnus Imraz Fayroze cruised to victory at the 2022 Katukurunda Circuit Race, garnering yet another shield for his ever-expanding trophy cabinet.

The competition was held earlier this month at the Katukurunda Air Force Station and was organized by Sri Lanka Automobile Sports (SLAS), the governing body for motorsport in Sri Lanka. Imraz competed under SL-A Mini 7 Class.

During the selection phase, Imraz encountered an unexpected incident where his car was overturned. Each player is allocated 8 rounds during this phase and grid position for the final is awarded based on the fastest time recorded by the players in all of their laps. While all other players enjoyed the luxury of 8 rounds, Imraz was only able to partake in one round as a result of this incident. However, the one round he took was good enough for him to secure second place on the grid. Why do you want eight rounds when you can do it in one round? He barely missed out on the first slot on the grid.

Undeterred, Imraz was able to fix his vehicle within 24 hours and made it to the finals. The tough incident he faced only made him stronger and even more resolved to win, being a testament to the true Annites spirit of Possumus. And courage like this deserves only one outcome, victory and that's exactly what he got in the end.

If you take a good look at his nifty car, you can see the 27-year-old proudly carries the College crest in every race he takes. Well, that's certainly one way to bring Annites glory.

And this is not the first time that Imraz got hold of this Championship trophy, he has already repeated it so many times in the past; more on that to come in another report, as it's bit too much to bring all in one.

This year our splendid Annites never fell short of bringing glory and Imraz's victory adds a fitting end as we approach the end of the year.
