The reasons behind the delay in holding Sri Lanka Rugby official election!!!

Published

on

The Director General of Sports has decided to temporarily postpone the Sri Lanka Rugby official election which was to be held on the 27th.

Director General of Sports Amal Edirisuriya said that after examining the appeals submitted by the sports associations regarding the suspension of the voting power of a number of sports clubs in the relevant election, the Sri Lanka Rugby official election was temporarily suspended until a decision was made by an advisory committee.

In this official election, which was prepared to be held tomorrow (27), only the former President of the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation, Mohammad Illiyas, who is currently under ban from the Asian Rugby Federation, submitted nominations for the position of President.

Regarding the submission of these nominations, the nominations were submitted two weeks ago according to the old constitution of the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation and the sports associations are accused that they did not get enough time to submit objections.

In accordance with the new constitution of the Rugby Federation, the nominations must be given before 30 days.

Also, experts in the field said that if a person who is banned from the Asian Confederation is elected as the president in this election, there is a possibility that Sri Lanka will lose its membership in the International Rugby Federation. In addition, this may cause a risk of not receiving funds for the development of rugby in Sri Lanka.

Thus, they further realized that there is a risk of the future of the entire rugby game in Sri Lanka falling into a deep abyss due to the needs of one person.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය කල් මැරීමට හේතුව!!!

එලැබෙන 27 වැනිදා පැවැත්වීමට තිබූ ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය තාවකාලිකව කල් දැමීමට ක්‍රීඩා අධ්‍යක්ෂ ජෙනරාල්වරයා තීරණය කර ඇත.

ක්‍රීඩා අධ්‍යක්ෂ ජනරාල් අමල් එදිරිසූරිය පවසා සිටියේ, අදාල නිළවරණයේදී ක්‍රීඩා සමාජ ගණනාවක ජන්ද බලය අත්හිටුවීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් එම ක්‍රීඩා සංගම් විසින් ඉදිරිපත් කරන ලද අභියාචනා පරීක්ෂා කිරීමෙන් අනතුරුව උපදේෂන කමිටුවක් විසින් තිරණයක් ලබාදෙන තෙක් තාවකාලිකව ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි නිලවරණය අත්හිටුවීමට කටයුතු කළ බවයි.

හෙට (27) දිනයෙදී පැවැත්වීමට කටයුතු සූදානම් කර තිබූ මෙම නිලවරණයේදී සභාපති ධූරය සදහා නාම යෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කර තිබුනේ මේ වන විට ආසියානු රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ තහනමකට ලක්ව සිටින ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ හිටපු සභාපති මොහොමඩ් ඉල්ලියාස් පමණි.  

මෙම නාමයෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කිරීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් ශ්‍රී ලංකා රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ පැරණි ව්‍යව්ස්ථානුකූලව සති දෙකකට පෙර එම නාම යෝජනා ඉදිරිපත් කෙරුණු අතර විරෝධතා ඉදිරිපත් කිරීමට ප්‍රමානවත් කාලයක් නොලැබුණ බවට ක්‍රීඩා සංගම් චෝදනා කරනු ලබයි. 

රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ නව ව්‍යවස්‍ය්ථාවට අනුකූලව නිලවරණය සදහා ඉදිරිපත් වීමේදී ඒ සදහා නාම යෝජනා 30 දිනට පෙර ලබාදිය යුතු වෙනවා. 

එසේම මෙම නිලවරණයෙන් ආසියානු සම්මේලනයේ තහනමක ලක්වසිටින පුද්ගලයෙකු සභාපති ලෙස තෝරා පත්කරගත හොත් ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ජාත්‍යන්තර රග්බි සම්මේලනයේ සාමාජිකත්වයද අහිමි වීමට ඉඩප්‍රස්ථාව ඇති බවට ක්ෂේත්‍රයේ ප්‍රවීණයන් පවසනු ලැබීය.  ඊට අමතරව ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ රග්බි ක්‍රීඩාවේ සංවර්ධනයට ලබාදෙනු ලබන අරමුදල්ද නොලැබී යාමේ අවදානමක් මෙමගින් ඇති විය හැක. 

මෙලෙස එක් පුද්ගලයෙකුගේ අවශ්‍යතාව මත මෙරට සමස්ථ රග්බි ක්‍රීඩාවේ අනාගතය අදුරු අගාධයකට වැටීමේ අවධානමක් ඇතැයි ඔවුන් වැඩිදුරටත් සදහ්න් කරණු ලැබීය.

இலங்கை ரக்பியின் உத்தியோகபூர்வ தெரிவில் தாமதம் ஏற்பட்டமைக்கான காரணம்!!!

எதிர்வரும் 27ஆம் திகதி நடைபெறவிருந்த இலங்கை ரக்பி உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலை தற்காலிகமாக ஒத்திவைக்க விளையாட்டுப் பணிப்பாளர் நாயகம் தீர்மானித்துள்ளார்.

குறித்த தேர்தலில் பல விளையாட்டுக் கழகங்களின் வாக்குரிமை இடைநிறுத்தப்பட்டமை தொடர்பில் விளையாட்டு சங்கங்கள் சமர்ப்பித்த மேன்முறையீட்டு மனுக்களை பரிசீலித்ததன் பின்னர், இலங்கை ரக்பி உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலை தற்காலிகமாக இடைநிறுத்தியதாக விளையாட்டுப் பணிப்பாளர் நாயகம் அமல் எதிரிசூரிய தெரிவித்துள்ளார். ஒரு ஆலோசனைக் குழு.

நாளை (27) நடைபெறவிருந்த இந்த உத்தியோகபூர்வ தேர்தலில், தற்போது ஆசிய ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தில் இருந்து தடைசெய்யப்பட்டுள்ள இலங்கை ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் முன்னாள் தலைவர் மொஹமட் இல்லியாஸ் மாத்திரமே தலைவர் பதவிக்கு வேட்புமனுக்களை சமர்ப்பித்திருந்தார்.

இந்த வேட்புமனுக்கள் சமர்ப்பிப்பு தொடர்பில், இலங்கை ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் பழைய அரசியலமைப்பின் பிரகாரம் இரண்டு வாரங்களுக்கு முன்னர் வேட்புமனுக்கள் சமர்ப்பிக்கப்பட்டதுடன், ஆட்சேபனைகளை சமர்ப்பிப்பதற்கு போதிய கால அவகாசம் கிடைக்கவில்லை என விளையாட்டு சங்கங்கள் குற்றம் சுமத்தியுள்ளன.

ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் புதிய அரசியலமைப்பின் படி, நியமனங்கள் 30 நாட்களுக்கு முன்னர் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும்.

அத்துடன், ஆசிய சம்மேளனத்தில் தடை செய்யப்பட்ட ஒருவர் இத்தேர்தலில் அதிபராக தெரிவு செய்யப்பட்டால், சர்வதேச ரக்பி சம்மேளனத்தின் உறுப்புரிமையை இலங்கை இழக்கும் வாய்ப்பு இருப்பதாகவும் அத்துறை சார்ந்த நிபுணர்கள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர். மேலும், இது இலங்கையில் ரக்பியின் வளர்ச்சிக்கான நிதியைப் பெறாத அபாயத்தை ஏற்படுத்தலாம்.

இதனால், ஒருவரின் தேவையினால் இலங்கையின் ஒட்டுமொத்த ரக்பி விளையாட்டின் எதிர்காலமும் ஆழமான பாதாளத்தில் விழும் அபாயம் உள்ளதை அவர்கள் மேலும் உணர்ந்தனர்.

Sri Lankan javelin sensation Rumesh Pathirage produced the performance of a lifetime at the Rome Diamond League, launching the spear an astonishing 92.62 metres to become the second-best javelin thrower in Asian history and move to eighth place on the world all-time rankings.

The 23-year-old delivered the remarkable throw with his second attempt in the men’s javelin competition, sending shockwaves through the athletics world and cementing his place among the sport’s elite.

Pathirage’s record-breaking effort not only shattered his previous personal best but also established a new Sri Lankan national record and the world-leading mark for the 2026 season.
Adding to the significance of the achievement, the Sri Lankan star eclipsed the long-standing Rome Diamond League meet record of 90.34 metres, which had stood for two decades and was set by Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen.

The historic throw marks a major milestone for Sri Lankan athletics, with Pathirage becoming the first athlete from the island nation to surpass the coveted 90-metre barrier in international competition.

His performance places him among the greatest javelin throwers of all time and further strengthens his credentials as a leading contender for major global championships in the years ahead.

All-round Sri Lanka overwhelm West Indies

Published

Sri Lanka produced a clinical display with both bat and ball to defeat West Indies by 41 runs in the first match of the three match ODI series worked off at Kingston on Wednesday.

After being asked to bat, Sri Lanka posted a challenging 303 for 7 from their allotted 50 overs, thanks largely to impressive contributions from Pathum Nissanka and captain Kusal Mendis. Nissanka played the anchor role with a composed 79 off 103 deliveries, striking nine boundaries and a six, while Kusal accelerated the scoring with a fluent 72 from 62 balls, featuring four fours and four sixes.

The pair guided Sri Lanka out of early trouble after Kamindu Mendis fell cheaply. Pavan Rathnayake contributed 24, while Charith Asalanka added a useful 45 to keep the innings on track. Janith Liyanage then provided the finishing touches with a brisk unbeaten 44 from 29 balls as the visitors crossed the 300-run mark. Roston Chase, Matthew Forde and Jayden Seales claimed two wickets each for the hosts.

West Indies made a promising start to their chase, reaching 73 for 2 inside the first 10 overs. Justin Greaves struck 45 and skipper Shai Hope battled for 56, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers repeatedly struck at crucial moments to halt the momentum.

The turning point came through Dushmantha Chameera, whose pace and accuracy troubled the West Indian middle order. The fast bowler claimed four wickets, including the prized scalp of Hope, to finish with 4 for 67. Spinner Maheesh Theekshana played an equally important role, conceding just 26 runs in his ten overs while taking two wickets.

Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed Sherfane Rutherford at a key stage, while Asitha Fernando and Charith Asalanka also entered the wicket column. Despite late resistance from Shamar Joseph, West Indies were bowled out for 262 in 49.2 overs.
