New fans to College Hall from 95 Group

The Group of 95 has come forward to replace the fans at the

college main hall. This was a long felt need as the college hall hosts

many official functions involving both Royalists and visitors alike.

Royal College main hall is the main symbol of this esteemed

institution.

From commemorative stamps to college web site, in many

significant publications the image of the college hall has been used

prominently due to this simple reason. Therefore all the Royalists;

past and present are duty bound to maintain this building in the

best possible condition.

The executive committee of group of 95 noticed the poor condition

of the fans that were installed in the main college hall and took up

the task of replacing them with new fans while maintaining the

grandeur of this colonial era building. The most difficult task was to

find new fans which look similar to the ones that were installed

few decades back, blending in harmony with majestic old British

architecture. The executive committee had a hard time on finding

fans with identical shapes and colour; in fact, to achieve that, they

had to practically spray paint in a matching colour! At the end this

was successfully accomplished to the satisfaction of all.

This project was entirely funded by the members of 95

group through personal donations.

This initiative by the 95 group was very well timed, as the

college hall will host many official functions of the 175th

anniversary celebrations including the Pirith Ceremony.

St. Peters put up a much better performance in the second innings to deprive Royalists of a victory by batting till the end .And at the close of the day two the score board read 271 for 8 (Maneesha Thantirigoda 5 for 42)

Workshop on Nutrition for RC Football Players

As we are celebrating 175th anniversary of this great school, enthusiasm shown towards the game of

football at Royal has never been before. This is mainly because of the commitment and dedication of

the College authorities led by the principal sir, members of FA & MC, players and their parents who work

together towards a common goal to bring up the sport to greater heights. Furthermore we cannot

forget our sponsors especially ORUAE who support us through out. Its sheer hard work, regular training,

match practice, good coaching, technical support, etc, etc…has put us where we are today. How ever to

become the best needs more than ordinary. That’s why we (FA & MC), have looked into the aspects like

proper nutrition, psychological support, power training, etc. As an initiative FA & MC has started a

Nutrition program for all the foot ballplayers at RC.

This program consists of 03 steps

1. Screening and evaluating of nutritional states of each and every player.

2. Educating the players as well as their parents and the coaches regarding proper nutrition.

3. Help to maintain a good nutritional state of each and every player by providing food

supplements and other requirements.

We are glad to inform you that we have successfully completed the first two steps of our program.

First Step - Screening and evaluating of nutritional states

Results of the Nutritional screening

Total no screened: 79%

No of undernourished: 26%

Percentage of undernourished: 32.9 %

Second step - Nutrition Education

As the second step of our program we arranged a lecture and a discussion on nutrition, for RC football

players and especially for their parents. We are very proud to say that it has been a very successful

event. Both parents and the children showed a lot of interest in learning and understanding concepts

and practices pertaining to sports nutrition. The lecture was conducted by Miss.Amal Firous BSC

Nutrition, Dietitian at Asiri Hospital, in front of a full house.

The audience had a lot of important issues to get clarified and questions were well answered by the

guest speaker. Since we have successfully completed the first two steps of the program, only the third

step remains to be started. In the first step, it reveled that 33 % of our players are below the 5th

percentile of the normal nutritional curve. By the second step now we have learn the ways to improve

ourselves. Time has come for our sponsors to come forward and help us to commence the third step of

the program. That is to help these lads to improve their nutritional states, to help the Royal to become

the football playing school in the Island!
