Havelock Sports Club
Havelock Sports Club is a Division 'A' rugby union team based in Sri Lanka that plays in the Dialog Rugby League. The club has a long history and Rugby is the club's main sporting activity. The "Havies", as they are commonly known amongst its members, is situated in Colombo and the club's ground is known as Havelock Park. The club has produced some excellent players over the last few decades including Sri Lankan Nationals such as Michael Jayasekera, Hisham Abdeen, Graham Raux, Sanjeewa Jayasinghe and Rajeev Ganapathy. The club has struggled over the last decade to retain its players with their star performers crossing over to more star-powered clubs. This has changed with the help of former Sri Lanka, Ceylonese R & FC Fly Half, Asanga Seneviratne, who is the current head of the Sri Lanka Rugby Football Union. He has changed the face of Havies Rugby over the last year by helping them find sponsors through companies he controls, which has helped lift the standards of the club on-field and off-field. A new stadium has been built with games being played under lights. Havelocks went on to win the league season in 2012 defeating the Kandy Sports Club, who were the champions for the preceding 10 years. Havelocks have won the Clifford Cup a total of 14 times, with the latest cup victory in 2019 after a drought of 37 years. 2013
