“From the vault”
In the illustrious tale of Antonian badminton, the year 1988 stands as an epoch marked by Udaya Weerakoon’s extraordinary feat. Conquering both the National Badminton Championship and the Mixed Doubles Championship trophies, he ascended to a pinnacle of sporting greatness.
Guided by the visionary R. N. A. De Silva, the founding luminary of St. Anthony’s College Badminton, Weerakoon’s achievements etched a record that time has yet to erode.
Their collaboration, a symphony of skill and mentorship, not only secured victory but composed an enduring ballad in the hallowed halls of St. Anthony’s sporting history.
