The Rain in Spain were tears of joy as they snatch a World Cup dream- BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) It was raining tears of joy in Spain as the plucky Spanish pulled off a sensational 1-0 win over a luckless England to lift the World Cup in Sydney. In all fairness, England were fancied to go all the way but found the Spanish women a daunting prospect. It was all Spain for most parts of the game as they launched endless waves of attacks into England territory but were thwarted by a solid defence that could have made the margin more emphatic. A magnificent strike from Olga Carmona in the 29th minute which whizzed into the right corner of the net was the difference in a tightly contested game. England missed what seemed like a gettable equaliser in front of the Spanish goal. But it was ...

T Malli – He heard his last whistle – By Capt Elmo Jayawardena “Theresius (T Malli) Silva” I first met T Malli in the basketball court of St Sebastian’s College. I was the coach yet did not know how to tell him politely that he had no business playing basketball, being height challenged as he was. But then, he was T Malli, a determined man who bucked the odds all his life, won some, lost some but had the courage to get on with his life, undaunted. He was mostly a bencher in the team, hardly getting on to the tarmac. But he was always there, the perfect teammate, to cheer, to give water and occasionally play too as a worrisome guard. The team won the All-Island Schools Basketball Championship and T Malli stood on the victory platform. They were then chosen to play in a tournament in India and ...

A burst bubble and skilful Sweden push the Matildas to fourth – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (Elanka Sports Editor) The English burst their bubble 2-1,  but the Matildas although deflated were on a high in the Semi-Final after an arm wrestle against their arch rivals, and it breathed belief that they would clinch third place in the World Cup.  A flamboyant Sweden decided otherwise,  as they stifled and snuffed out home crowd support to claim third place despite the deafening home crowd support with a truly calculated 2-0 win. I was one, among a few million Australians, who firmly believed the Matildas would end on a high after their heartbreaking loss to England.  But it was not to be,  as one of Soccer’s World Cup heavyweights showed skill, flair, and deadly accuracy to kill off any chance of an upset.  While the Matildas fourth place was irrelevant to the ...

Chairman of the Committee MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage stated that from a total of 105,000 companies in Sri Lanka, only 15,000 fulfil their tax obligations. Stating that there were 295,000 personal tax files in 2022, he stated that in 2023, this further decreased to 204,000 files. “Surprisingly, a mere 29,000 individuals among the populace contribute a solitary rupee to the nation’s tax resources through their personal files. On the corporate front, our country hosts 105,000 companies, but merely 15,000 of them fulfil their tax obligations,” he said.
