The show continues for 33rd year
  Sri
Lanka’s first-ever schools cricket awards ceremony - the Observer
Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year is on again. The 33rd Observer-Mobitel
Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year contest to vote for the Most Popular
Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year (All-Island and Outstation) will begin
this week.
Coupons to vote for the Most Popular Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year
All-Island and Outstation contests will be published in the ANCL (Lake
House) group of newspapers - the Sunday Observer, Daily News, Dinamina
and Thinakaran, from today and would continue until the end of the
inter-school first X1 season. The end of the season would be marked by
the mega show which richly rewards the most outstanding as well as the
most popular schoolboy cricketers all over the island.
The proud sponsor of the Mega Show for the fourth successive year
will be Sri Lanka’s national mobile service provider - Sri Lanka Telecom
Mobitel, which has been in the forefront of the cellular telephone
industry.
Former Royal, NCC and Sri Lanka captain Ranjan Madugalle, the present
Chief Match Referee of the ICC, was the first recipient of the inaugural
Observer Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year show at the Nawarangahala in
1979. The Observer-Mobitel Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year mega show
will continue to maintain its high traditions and reward Sri Lanka’s up
and coming cricketing heroes.
