Inter Provincial Rugby seven’s this Weekend

The Inter Provincial Rugby Seven's organized by Sri Lanka Sports Ministry will take place on the 6^th & 7^th of July at the race course Grounds in Colombo.

The event organized for the 4^th consecutive year, brings together all provinces to battle it out and be the provincial champions. 

This year Eastern province will not participate, and central province will only feature a men's team. It is very encouraging to see the Northern Province put forward both a men's and women's team this year. Other provinces too will feature both Men’s and women's teams, namely Southern Province, Western Province, North Western Province, North Central Province, Uva Province and Sabaragamuwa Province.

In 2018 Central province emerged as winners in the Men's segment, while a highly competitive Women's segment was won by Sabaragamuwa Province.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8.30am on 6^th July, with the Sports Ministry Secretary Mr. Chulananda Perera as the Chief Guest. The closing ceremony will happen on the 7^th of July, and will be graced by the Assistant Director Administration of the Sports Ministry, Mrs. Nadeeka Damayanthi and the President of Sri Lanka Rugby, Mr. Lasitha Gunarathe.

The tournament is organized and coordinated by Mr. Dilan Soysa, Sports officer of Sri Lanka Sports Ministry and the Sports development unit.
