A group of promising boxers from Trinity College competed successfully at the TB Jayah Boxing Tournament 2026, held recently at Dheerananda College, Pilimathalawa.

The Trinity College boxing team was coached by the experienced Damith Wijerathne, a former Sri Lanka national boxer and international medallist. An old boy of Vidyartha College, Wijerathne also had the honour of captaining the Sri Lanka boxing team on several occasions. His experience at international level has been a valuable asset in the development of young boxers at Trinity.

Four Trinity boxers competed in different weight categories at the tournament. Abhises Wimalarathne competed in the 66–70 kg category and won gold, while A.S. Shanaz entered the 55–60 kg division. Mohamed Muadh Hameed competed in the 65–70 kg category, with Zenel Zakeer representing Trinity in the 50–55 kg division. The other three boxers each won a bronze medal. (SJ)
