In the 2025 edition, Sri Sumangala College clinched victory in the One-Day Encounter, marking their 17th win in this format. The first encounter between the two schools dates back to 1934. The first match in the sequence was played in 1934 under the captain, W. Lionel Fernando of Sri Sumangala College[2] and H. N. Samarasinghe of Moratu Maha Vidyalaya.[3] The first victory for Sumangalians was in 1962 under the Captaincy of P. P. Silva while the first victory for Moraliyans was in 1956 under the Captaincy of T. Hapugoda. Of the 72 big matches played between the two schools until 2024, Sumangalians has won 08 and Moraliyans 07, with the rest being declared draw.[2] The first victory for Sumangalians was in 1962 under the captaincy of S. Sigera while the first victory for Moraliyans was in 1956 under the captaincy of T. Hapugoda. The last time Sri Sumangala College won the Battle of the Golds was in 2007 under the captaincy of Iresh Pushpakumara and for Moratu Maha Vidyalaya it was in 2010 under the captaincy of Anuruddhika Kalhara. Among the many successes of Sri Sumangala College, Iresh Pushpakumara’s 08 wickets in an inning in 2007 big match is the best bowling figure so far in the history and Roshan Wimalasena’s 153 in 1996 in the highest score in the history.[2] In 1981 big match Ravin Wickramaratne set another record by scoring an unbeaten 104 runs and taking 5 wickets with a hat trick.[2] Interestingly, Wickramarathna has also been elected as the Vice President of Sri Lanka Cricket in the recent past, from his previous tenure as Assistant Secretary.[4] A few other victories for Sumangalians include 1975 Captain Tissa Eleperuma representing Ceylon Team before the test status was granted,[2] 1983 Captain Don Anurasiri[5] being the first Sumangalian to present Sri Lanka's test cricket team, who was subsequently followed by 1995 Captain Indika Gallage and 2001 Captain Dilruwan Perera. In 2023, 2023 captain Vishwa Lahiru was selected to represent the Sri Lanka U19 National Team and in 2024 in the U19 World Cup. A few other remarkable cricketers in the local playing field who began their cricketing career at Sri Sumangala include, Kaushal Silva before playing for St Thomas's College; Kithuruwan Vithanage before joining Royal College, Colombo and U13 and U15 Captain Oshada Fernando before joining St Sebastian’s College, Moratuwa. While Kithruwan Vithanage earned his spot in the Sri Lanka team from 2013-2016, Kaushal Silva and Oshada Fernando are still a part of the Sri Lankan team. Moratu Maha Vidyala holds the unique record of becoming the one and only school in Sri Lanka which has produced national cricketers both in men's and women's categories. Sarath Fernando and Bernard Perera of Moratu Maha Vidyalaya represented the nation before Sri Lanka obtained the test status. Ajantha Mendis from Moratu Maha Vidyalaya who reintroduced mystery to spin bowling was the first test player to represent Sri Lanka followed by Nishan Madushka. Further, former Sri Lankan player, Hasantha Fernando played up to under 15 in Moratu Maha Vidyalaya and Lucky Roger represented the Sri Lankan under-19 team in 1988. Inoshi Fernando and Upeksha Thabrew represented the nation in women's cricket who are old girls of Moratu Maha Vidyalaya. The one day encounters, which began 28 years ago in 1993,[2] have resulted in 17 victories for Sumangalians, 11 for Moraliyans, 02 matches where no decision was taken and a match not played in 2001 and 2021 due to COVID.[3] sri sumangala college,sri sumangala college vs moratu maha vidyalaya,sumangala college,sri sumangla college,sri lanka sports,sri sumangala college panadura,sri sumangala college parade 2025,sri sumangala college english day,sri sumangala college western band,best videos - sri sumangala college cadet band,sumangala,sri sumangala,sri sumangala school,roar,roar 2019,roar 2018,#summa,sri sumangala college vs moratu maha vidyalaya live today
