Upset win by Canada ends Team Sri Lanka’s Over 50s quest – Chitran Duraisamy (Photos thanks to Duke Suren Ramachandran)   Playing for pride both teams gave it their all at the Plate semi-finals between Sri Lanka (5th) and Canada (8th).  Electing to bat at the iconic Old Kings Oval, the Lankans started steadily – 36/0 (7 overs) when a fine bowling spell by Rudy Gibson (4/35) saw the run-rate nose drive.  A courageous   Captain’s knock by Marlon Von Hagt (52) and some dogged batting by Roshan Ismail (35) and Boyd Parson (16 not out) concluded a respectable 163/8 (45 overs).

Everything went off like clockwork.” That was how many of the 140 members and guests described their experience of the Ceylon Society of Australia’s Annual Dinner and Social held at the Pennant Hills Community Centre hall on November 24.
