It was an eventful evening as President Elect, Rizly Ilyas, shared his ideas and presented his plans on the development of Sri Lanka Rugby.

However, as much as the appointment of the new board and nominees were discussed, the installation of eleven well-respected individuals as life-time members of SLR turned out to be the highlight of the event. Hisham Abdeen, Priyantha Ekanayake and former SLR President Asanga Seneviratne, were among the 11 individuals. 

The Full list is as follows;

  • CPP Abeygunawardena
  • Jude Pillai (Secretary SLR)
