D S Senanayake College Queensland Old Boys Association and St Johns (Jaffna) Old Boys association Sydney had inaugural cricket match for Unity Cup in Brisbane Australia recently.
12 players and their families from St, Johns OBA traveled to Brisbane (about 1,000km apart) to take part in the Unity cricket game.
According to DS OBA this was the first time such an event took place in Queensland. The day started with traditional Kiribath and lighting of the oil lamp from both parties.
The games were two 20 over games and St Johns team won the trophy on the last ball of the super over. Both teams showed excellent sportsmanship.
