History of Royal Thomian Cricket Encounter | Extraordinary Places in Sri Lanka
Battle of the Blues (Colombo)
The Battle of the Blues (Also known as Royal--Thomian Cricket Encounter) is an annual Big Match in Sri Lanka played between Royal College, Colombo, and S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia since 1879. It is known as The Battle of the Blues due to the colours of the two school's flags i.e. blue, gold, and blue of Royal College and blue, black, and blue of S. Thomas' College.
The original match was played between the Colombo Academy and S. Thomas' College, Mutwal in 1879, with schoolmasters and schoolboys participating. Mr. Ashley Walker captained the Colombo Academy while Rev. S. J. Meyrick, a member of the staff played for S. Thomas' College, Mutwal. This encounter is not considered the first match as Masters played for both sides.
In 1880, only the students took part and this first official encounter between the Colombo Academy and S. Thomas' College, Mutwal in Modara was played at Galle Face Grounds, which is today the site of the Taj Samudra Hotel. The match commenced at 4.00 p.m. each day. The Beira Lake stretched up to the present railway line close to San Sebastian Hill and the two teams rowed across in boats to the Galle Face Grounds. The Academy made 110 in the first inning; and St. Thomas' 59. In the second innings, the Academy made 35 and St. Thomas' 24.[7] J. W. de Silva was the Academy captain and F. W. McDonnell was the Thomian captain.[8] In this first encounter, Colombo Academy won by 62 runs.
At present, the match is played between Royal College, Colombo which is a public non-denominational school accommodating approximately 8,500 students, and S. Thomas' College, Mt Lavinia which is a private Anglican school that has about 2,500 boys on roll and a branch network of three constituent colleges with a total of over 5,500 students. It was the first schoolboy cricket match in Sri Lanka to be played over three days.
The Royal-Thomian is the second-longest uninterrupted Cricket series in the entire world, preceded only by the Cricket Intercol played between Prince Alfred College, Adelaide and St. Peter's College, Adelaide, whose first match was played in 1878.
