This partnership marks Pelwatte’s strong commitment to boosting aquatic sports and investing in the future generation of Sri Lankan athletes.
The Dr. R. L. Hayman Trophy, which is in its 32nd edition this year, stands as one of Sri Lanka's most iconic water polo rivalries.
For over three decades, generations of young athletes have been inspired by the competition's legendary record of generating exceptional captains and teams.
It is a privilege for Pelwatte to carry on this tradition by promoting a sport that exemplifies resilience, discipline, and teamwork, values that are consistent with the brand's mission.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Akmal Wickramanayake, Managing Director of Pelwatte Dairy, said:
"At Pelwatte, we support platforms that enable Sri Lankan youth to thrive because we believe in their empowerment.
Our long-term goal of fostering local talent and celebrating the spirit of aquatic sports at S. Thomas is reflected in our sponsorship of the Dr. R. L. Hayman Trophy.
We are proud to stand alongside the upcoming generation of athletes who will one day represent our country with pride, much as Pelwatte takes pride in being a truly local brand that offers farm-to-table dairy goodness.”
Ms. Kumerini Candappa, General Manager – Sales & Marketing of Pelwatte Dairy, added:
"We view this sponsorship as an investment in our children's future and health, not just an event.
Pure goodness for a healthy generation is assured by Pelwatte dairy products, which are made 100% with natural ingredients without the use of artificial flavours or colourings.
We are thrilled to support these young Thomians' sporting journeys and to share in the passion and energy surrounding the Dr. R. L. Hayman Trophy.”
Pelwatte is reaffirming its progressive and active stance as a brand that is deeply rooted in Sri Lankan values and is always evolving to support the future of the nation by entering the aquatic sports market.
By supporting the Dr. R. L. Hayman Trophy, Pelwatte is contributing to shaping future leaders who are capable, strong, and healthy, strengthening its position as a trusted dairy provider.
As a testament to the long history of S. Thomas' aquatic sports and a reminder of how winners can be fuelled by the pure goodness of Sri Lankan dairy, Pelwatte extends an invitation to parents, coaches, fans, and the larger community to participate in celebrating this year's Dr. R. L. Hayman Trophy encounter.
