Message From The MSC OBA NAB President:

First and formost let me thank the Consul General Mr. Bandula Jayasekera for participating
at the Cricket match amidts his very heavy work schedule.

Now let me thank the two cricket teams.. Joseph Vaz College and Maris Stella College Cricket Teams for a great cricket encounter. It was a beautiful, friendly match. Both schools blended well together, being two neighbouring schools from the same province.

The match was well attended by the Executive Committee members, members of both schools,
and their families and friends. Hope this trend will continue in years to come, making
this an annual funfilled family event.

This was one of the best events we have ever putforth, mainly because all Maristonins
young and old came together under one banner. This demonstrates the the qualities that are embedded in us.. Peace, Harmony, Understanding & Forgiveness.

My sincere appreciation to dedicated committee members who made this event possible. Namely, Mr. Prathap Perera, Mr Kirthi Perera, Mr Mohan Perera, Mr Priyantha Fernando & Mr. Gerrard Bastiansz. Gentlemen, a job very well done.

THANK YOU!!

Ranjit Wickramasinghe

Message From Joseph Vaz OBA CB President:

I am delightful to have the opportunity to raise the Vazians flag on this side of the Continent thanks to my good Friends at Marisstella College OBA. This being our inaugural year, I would definitely say we got off to a great start with a friendly victory over our brother school Maris Stella at the big match in King City. This is the type of cooperation and integration we need to succeed for the future. I look forward to working with MSC OBA NAB and expanding our organization to great horizons. My hats off to all Vazians and Marisstonians for all the support. Thank you.
