The Badminton teams of TCK have been striving to reach a noteworthy status since 2014. After clinching the championship in the B division and being placed runners-up in the A division in 2016, their perseverance to attain greater heights remained strong.
From the 17th-21st April 2024, All Island under 17, Inter School Badminton Team Championships were held at St. Thomas College, Bandarawela and SLA Ratnayake Memorial Indoor Stadium.
Firstly, the teams competed, with a few of the most competitive schools from all around the nation: St. Sebastian College Moratuwa, St. Anthony’s College Katugastota, Ananda College ‘B’ Team and Bandarawela Central.
Trinity had its first match with St. Sebastian College Moratuwa where they won 1st double, 2nd double, and 3rd Single.
During their second match with St. Anthonys College, they secured the 1st single,1st double, and 2nd double and then Trinity overpowered Ananda College B team and finally was the match with Bandarawela Central College where once again Trinity showcased its unmatched skills conquering this match as well.
Performing exceptionally well, Trinity College Kandy moved into the Super semifinal ‘A division’ where after an intense match we unfortunately lost against Lyceum Wattala securing 3rd place in the Super ‘A’ Division at the All-Island Inter School Under 17 Badminton Team Championship.
TCK’s badminton journey reaches a historical milestone with this groundbreaking achievement, being placed 3th out of 105 schools island-wide.
We extend our gratitude to the Master-in-charge Mr.Shanaka Ariyarathne, Mr.Rashika Weerasooriya and the Coaches Lasantha Thilakawardana and Shamika Nugaliyaddha for their continued support.
