Trinity College Kandy emerged as Cup Champions at the 20th ESU Blue & Gold Hockey Sevens in 2025, a premier inter-school hockey tournament in Sri Lanka, securing the title for the first time since 2007. The two-day encounter was held on 8th and 9th August at the Royal College Colombo Grounds, organised by the Royal College Hockey Club.
In the group stage, Trinity began with a commanding 5–0 win over S. Thomas’ College, Matara, followed by a goalless draw against Prince of Wales’ College, Moratuwa. The team advanced to the pre-quarter-final, defeating Zahira College, Matale 3–0.
A controlled 2–0 victory against Kingswood College took Trinity into the semi-final against St Joseph’s College, Colombo. After a 1–1 draw in regulation time, Trinity held their nerve to win 3–2 in the penalty shoot-out. In the final, the boys overcame S. Thomas’ College, Matale 1–0 to lift the Cup.
Trinity scored a total of 12 goals across the tournament, conceding only once in open play. The achievement reflects the hard work and discipline of the players, the guidance of the coaching staff, and the support of the Master-in-Charge, parents and the Hockey Foundation.
