What's Royal Rugby Management Committee Doing?

 




How much is Royal College Rugby losing due to corruption and ineffective management committees?


St. Thomas’ College proudly displays a modern electronic scoreboard at their grounds, yet RC continues to rely on an outdated, less visible manual scoreboard. Is this because we genuinely lack the funds to upgrade, or is it the result of corruption and poor decision-making within the rugby sports management committees?


A few years ago, the Royal Rugby Management Committee “forgot” to deposit Rs. 17 million from gate collections, which was later stolen by one of its members. This was deliberately kept secret from the membership by RCU. Audit firm B. R. De Silva audited the relevant financial statements, yet their audit report made no mention of the entire year’s gate collections being unaccounted for. It was only when the matter was raised by an outsider & the RCU was humiliated and pushed to recover the funds RCU realised they should do something. Even today, more than half of that amount remains unrecovered.


Isn’t Rs. 17Mn not enough to install an electronic scoreboard? And this is just one example of RC Rugby losing its funds.


We, as supporters of Royal Rugby, have every right to demand accountability. Those who have voluntarily taken office in the rugby management committees must either deliver—or leave. They do not have the right to tarnish the proud name of ROYAL RUGBY through inaction, incompetence, or corruption.


The time for silence is over
