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!
