3×3 arrives at Trinity’s courts

Basketball is a simple game. As Uncle Drew puts it, “You bounce [a basketball] and it comes right back to you”. Yet the simplicity makes it so much complex. Every moment of the game is unique; every dribble decides who takes home the trophy and who goes back to the gym wiser. Since its beginning B-ball has seen shifts in format, rules and style. Recently, the Trinity College Basketball team ventured into a new format of the game.

3×3 basketball is a ‘streetball’ version of the organized game involving only half the court (49ft x 36ft) and a size 6 ball. This miniature variant has fewer rules and is played for 10 minutes with sudden death at 21 points.

Although it has only recently been recognized as an official sport, it has been played in the streets and gyms across the world for a long time. FIBA’s intervention however, has spiked the popularity of 3×3 with EESEC naming it the ‘largest urban team sport ‘in the world. It would soon be taking over the Olympic hardwood with its Olympic début due for Japan 2020.

3×3 has gained much popularity in Sri Lanka as well, with tournaments being held nearly every month.

The Trinity cagers got into the game at the Annites 91’ Hoop Breakers Tournament organized by St. Anne’s College Old Boys Batch 91’ on the 2nd and 3rd of August 2019. Three teams entered the U18 category and two teams entered the Open Men’s category.

The Annite courts displayed an atmosphere of basketball skill and talent. All five teams gained invaluable experience and ‘Trinity Yellow’ playing U18 craved for more as they took game by game beating many challenging contenders. They finished 3rd place after a close encounter to ‘Maliyadeva A’, which ended with them trailing by 1. (Trinity Yellow – 4, Maliyadeva A – 5)

Inspired by the initial experience, the Trinity College Basketball team entered their second 3×3 event, the ICBT 3×3 Basketball Tournament 2019 held at the KDU Indoor Basketball Court.  This event which took place on the 1st of September had four Trinity teams entering the U18 category.

Three teams entered the knockout brackets after a competitive group stage. After hard fought semi-final matches ended in ‘Trinity Blue’ taking down ‘CIS B’ (5-4) and ‘Trinity A’ defeating ‘Scorpians’ (7-4).

The finals  turned up to be a battle between lions. ‘Trinity A’ clearly got the upper hand as they surged past ‘Trinity Blue’ to win 10-5. Milinda Sirimanne was awarded MVP for his brilliant performance.

Trinity A- Milinda Sirimanne, Malith Weerasinghe, Pasan Samaraweera, Lakshan Pathirana

Trinity Blue- Damsith Aluthgedera, Indura Wijeratne, Parinda Ratnayake, Cheleka Samaraweera

The recent victories clearly show the consistent improvement of basketball at Trinity. Yet 3×3 remains a side sport as the main 5 on 5 game is always at the top of priorities. These achievements will certainly boost the players to perform better at the key tournaments coming this later this year.

"எமது திரித்துவக் கல்லூரியின் உதவி பணிப்பாளர்கள் உழைப்பின்றி ஒரு அணுவும் அசையாது. உருவாகும் ஒவ்வொரு பொருளும், எல்லா தொழிலும், உயர்ந்த கட்டிடங்களும் எல்லாம் பணியாளர்களால் உருவானதே எனக்கூறின் மிகையாகாது."

"One must stop to look back and admire the hard working classes of society; the individuals who uphold the sustenance of our everyday lives. It is with the virtues of gratefulness, humbleness and admiration, that we write this to appreciate selfless service."

හේමා ආච්චි කියන්නේ හේමා ආච්චි කියන්නේ අපි ප්‍රාථමික අංශයේ ඉන්න කාලයේ බොහෝ සෙයින් ආදරය කළ චරිතයක්.
අපි, ශිෂ්‍ය කාර්ය බලකාය, (T150 Student Task Force) අපූරු මතක මංතීරුවක ඇවිදීමට ඇය සමඟ කතාබහකට වාඩි වුනෙමු.
මෙම පිළිසදරෙන් පිළිබිඹුවන පණිවිඩයක් වන, නිහතමානීව එකිනෙකාට සලකමින් සමාජයේ මනුෂ්‍යත්වයට දායක වීම සෑම ත්‍රිත්වයෙකුගේම වගකීමක් බව සනාත වන අතර එය ඔබ, අප සැම අඛණ්ඩව ඉටු කල යුතු සේවයකි.

Meet Hema Achchi! A loving personality we all adored immensely during our time at the Junior School. 
We, the T150 Student Task Force, sat down with her for a chat to take a stroll down memory lane.
The message of this conversation is that it is the duty of every Trinitian to contribute to the humanity of society by treating each other with humility and that is a service that you and all of us must continue to do.

ජයතිලක අන්කල් කියන ජයතිලක අන්කල් කියන්නේ බොහොමයක් නේවාසිකාගාර සිසුන්ගේ අධ්‍යාපනයටත් එහා ජීවිත වෙනස් කල චරිතයකි.
අපි, ශිෂ්‍ය කාර්ය බලකාය, (T150 Student Task Force) ඔහුගේ අත්දැකීම් වලට සවන් දීමට තරම් වාසනාවන්ත වුයෙමු.
මෙම පිළිසදරෙන් පිළිබිඹුවන පණිවිඩයක් වන, සමාජයට බරක් නොවී, හමුවන සෑම කෙනෙකුටම කරුණාව දක්වමින්, අත්දැකීම් තුළින් ජීවිතය ගොඩගන්නා මිනිසුන් බවට පත්වීම, අප පාසලට කරන උත්ම් ගෞරවයක් බව වටහාගත යුතුය.

Meet Jayathilake Uncle, someone who changed the lives of many at the Trinity Boarding beyond education. 
We, the T150 Student Task Force, were fortunate enough to be able to have a listen to his experiences at college.
The message of this conversation is that we would be honouring our alma mater, if we become men who without being a burden to society, build a life through experience showing kindness to everyone we meet.
