This milestone highlights Pelwatte’s dedication to supporting the nation’s youth, promoting sportsmanship, and uplifting future generations of athletes from the grassroots level.
Second only to the iconic rugby and cricket matches, the Hayman Trophy is one of the most celebrated events in Sri Lanka's sporting calendar.
It has grown to be the biggest water polo event for pupils, drawing parents, coaches, and sports fans year after year by uniting Royal College and St. Thomas' College, two of the most renowned schools in the country.
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Akmal Wickramanayake, Managing Director of Pelwatte Dairy Industries Ltd, said:
“We are honored to be a part of this significant event that celebrates the values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance in addition to the spirit of competition.
As a proudly local brand, Pelwatte is dedicated to creating healthier generations and is vested in the health of our children, just as we have built our brand from farm to table.”
Ms. Kumerini Candappa, General Manager – Sales & Marketing, added:
“Strength, stamina, and endurance are necessary for aquatic sports like water polo, and we believe a healthy diet is essential for fostering these qualities.
To support and encourage Sri Lanka's young athletes to reach their greatest potential, Pelwatte promises dairy goodness devoid of artificial flavours and colourings.”
Now in its 32nd year, the Hayman Trophy has a long history of inspiring athletes who have made their mark nationally and internationally, as well as noteworthy victories.
In addition to demonstrating its dedication to athletic excellence, Pelwatte is solidifying its position as a progressive, active, and enduring brand that supports local talent and healthy lifestyles by partnering with such a prestigious tournament.
Families, fans, and sports enthusiasts are invited by Pelwatte to join in this legendary celebration of school-level aquatic sports and support the upcoming generation of champions as the tournament gets underway.
