  • The Dharmaraja–Kingswood Cricket Encounter is a cricket match between two government-run national schools in Kandy, Sri Lanka, Dharmaraja College (with approximately 4,500 students) and Kingswood College (with approximately 3,500 students). It is the oldest cricket match series in the central province and 2nd oldest in Sri Lanka having been played for 111 years. It is also known as the "Battle of the Maroons". The first match was played in 1893, with the Dharmaraja College team captained by the great educationist, later Sir Don Baron Jayathilake, who was the principal of Dharmaraja at that time. And later principal of kingswood college L.E Blaze. The Kingswood team was captained by A.E. Spencer. It was played at the Bogambara Stadium, which is no longer a cricket venue. That match, and some others that followed, were not exclusively schoolboy matches as they included a few members of the staff from each school. The first all-schoolboy Big Match was played in 1899 with J.C. de Mel captaining Dharmaraja and T.B. Marshall leading Kingswood. It was played at the Asgiriya International Cricket stadium until 2010. Since 2011, it has been played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. (en)
