Sports Activities
Join RCOBA Sports
RCOBA actively participates in a variety of sporting events, both organized by us and externally. Here’s what’s happening in our sports community:
Cricket
We boast three cricket teams: Open, Classics (Over 50), and Vintage (Over 60). These teams play 3-5 matches annually against other Old Boys’ Associations (OBAs), teams from other states, or local clubs. All members are welcome to join. Don’t miss our ultimate cricket encounter against our traditional rivals, St. Thomas’s, on Australia Day!
Tennis
Our tennis community is growing fast. While we are relatively new to organising tennis events formally, we’ve rapidly expanded in the last couple of years. Our seasoned group of tennis players not only competes against other OBAs but also enjoys friendly matches among our members. If tennis is your passion, this is your chance to get involved.
Rugby
RCOBA fields two rugby teams – Open and Over 40s – in the annual Sri Lanka Schools touch footy tournament in Sydney, usually held in April. The game is similar to NRL rules but is played without contact, making it a safer, yet competitive, alternative to traditional rugby.
Other Sports
We also participate in golf and other sports contests organised by the community. Joining these events is a great way to meet other members and engage in friendly competition.
Get Involved
