It is rare to find twins climb the ladder of success in sports and continue the sports administration after their playing days are over. However, in Gemini and Tissa Jayasinghe, Dharmaraja College, Kandy has brought out two sportsmen in these twins in the seventees.

Younger brother Tissa is a International Hockey coach who followed FIH (Federation of International Hockey) course in 1999 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He also coached the Sri Lanka National Women's Hockey Team that toured Thailand in 1996. He also officiated at the Hockey Nationals from 1978 to 1990.

He represented State Services team that toured Malaysia and Singapore in 1996. He is the Asst. Secretary of the State Services Hockey Association.

Tissa's promotional work does not end there.

He is also interested in cricket and is the Vice-President of the Kandy District Cricket Association. Then Gamini led the champion State Services Hockey team to Victory and played as centre forward. He is the present Secretary of the Sri Lanka Hockey Federation. As Secretary, he had a hand in organising the National Hockey Tournament for the last 8 years.

Right now, Gamini Jayasinghe is the Treasurer of the Sri Lanka Olympic Committee.
