Thurstan College has always been renowned for its reputation as a powerhouse in School Rugby. With a rich history of success on the field and a tradition of excellence, the bond forged through rugby during their school years remains a cornerstone of many alumni’s identities long after leaving school.

The OBA Touch Rugby Tournament in the UK provides an opportunity for them to reconnect with their alma mater through the sport they love, holding immense appeal.

We take pride in being part of this invaluable charity, contributing not only through our annual donations but also by having our members provide administration and support work for the working committee. Through our support, the FOC charity can provide the supplies and equipment needed to save and enhance the quality of life for thousands of patients, helping them stay well and recover more quickly

Our OBA regularly makes both financial and material contributions to our alma mater in the areas of scholarships, education, sports, and facilities in Sri Lanka.
