30th OBSERVER - MOBITEL Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year Contests

Ruwantha forges ahead in All-Island Contest:

Few changes have taken place after the second count of votes in the All-Island and Outstation of the Observer-Mobitel Most Popular Cricketer of the Year 2008.

In the All-Island Contest, Ruwantha Fernandopulle of St. Joseph's College, Colombo, continues to lead with 4151 votes while Udara Peiris of Ananda College who was in third position on coupon number one jumped into second slot with 1050 votes.

Dilshan Munaweera of Nalanda College who was, second on coupon No. one drops to third position with 710 votes. Haroon Mowjeed of Royal remains in fourth place with 670 votes.

Chaminda Pathirana takes lead

There was a change in the Outstation Contest with Chaminda Pathirana of St. Anne's College, Kurunegala going into the lead with 1112 votes after the count on coupon No.2 last week's leader R. A. Weerasinghe of Kegalu Vidyalaya drops to second position with a close 969 votes while Rasitha Dilan of Bandaranayake College, Gampaha comes into the third slot with 676 votes. Rasika did not receive any votes in the first count.

Trinity College Principal Rod Gilbert wrote to us in 2005, saying that Trinity College cricketers are not eligible for the contest. So, the Sunday Observer is following that rule this year as well.

Lahiru Pathirana of Kegalu Vidyalaya who is in the running for honours in the Outstation Most Popular Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year Contest is not entitled for votes in the competition as he is not in school. This was confirmed by the Principal of Kegalu Vidyalaya N. A. S. Bandara.

Readers are reminded that any number of coupons can be sent for one particular cricketer under one cover. Readers must not mix-up names of the cricketers.

The Sunday Observer and SLT Mobitel would pick six lucky winners among the readers who vote for their favourite schoolboy cricketers to give away attractive prizes.

There will be cash prizes of Rs. 2,500, 1,500 and 1,000 every week. This will be in addition to the three gift packs, SMART SIM and reload cards presented by the sponsors - Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel.

There will also be a special article on Page 20, written by veteran sports writer, Leslie Fernando, who goes down memory lane to describe the most memorable moments in Sri Lanka's world cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga's school career - when he won the Observer Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year titles in 1980 and 1982.

The Sunday Observer readers would be in an advantageous position as they get two votes, including a bonus vote, per each coupon while single vote coupons would appear in the Daily News, Dinamina, Thinakaran and Kreeda on a daily basis.
