Proud moment where one of our own reaches the top of the elites. Congrats to Dinul Doluweera for topping the charts in the MBBS merit order list.

Dinul was the Ananda College Chess Captain in 2015/16 and was the last Ananda Captain to win both the Senior NSG and Schools Chess Championship in the same year. Congratulating him for the rest of his future endeavours.

Anandians CC : Super League 2023

After a long week of chess, Anandians Chess Club finished in the top half of the league with a 5th place final standing.

Anandians were the only team to keep the champion Laufer CC for a draw and won the round against 2nd place Fischer CC. The tournament seemed unfortunate for Anandians as they lost 3 rounds by half a point to the eventual ranked 3rd, 4th and 6th clubs in the league.

Captain Lahiru Munasinghe was back at his best losing only one game and supported by the rest of the crew. The new addition Janith Rajawasala who is still in grade 09 played well and is a prospect to look forward for in the future.

Anandians CC remains the longest playing club in SL National Super League without getting relegated.
