Fourteen year old Rozeth Dias a student at  Our Lady Of Victories  convent in Moratuwa had commenced playing Badminton at her tender age of seven years. The school sports coaches had identified her innate talent when she had begun playing the game seriously when she had triumphed in many school tournaments . Rozeth had persisted her passion as a Badminton player winning in  some tournaments she participated in organized by the Sri Lanka Badminton Association too. In these tournaments Rozeth had been awarded constantly many certificates ,medals and trophies.
