History was probably created when two school attending players won
the Senior National Table Tennis Championship for men and women at the
68th senior table tennis nationals organised by the Table Tennis
Association of the Sri Lanka and worked off in Colombo. Fifteen-year-old
Udaya Ranasinghe of Vidyartha College, Kandy, became the national mens
champion by defeating Sri Lanka's table tennis captain from Stag TT
Academy.
Nineteen year-old Erandi Warusawitharne of Dharmasoka College,
Ambalangoda, became the womens national champion by defeating Sri
Lanka's women teams captain Ishara Madurangi who was also the defending
champion.
