Royal Thomian – Big Match 2011 – Watch Online for Free on Papare
132nd installment of Royal Thomian Big Match is happening this week. But there is less hype about it this time around as 2011 cricket world cup has overshadowed it on most of the media. I too was not planing to write about it, but I noticed some increase of visitors to some of my old posts, which I wrote for Battle of the Blues 2010. It seems that many are looking for an online broadcast and end up visiting the wrong place.
If you need more info on the big match please visit http://www.royalthomian.info/ for official website. And if you are looking for the papare streaming link here it is http://www.thepapare.com/index.php/sports/cricket/146-the-132nd-battle-of-the-blues-live-on-thepapare. Unlike the last year, this time it is free.
YouTube: Wavin’ Flag – Bradby Mix – At Royal Parade 2010, Street Party

Royal Parade 2010 & Street Party – Photos & Afterthoughts
Royal Parade 2010 and Street Party was held on 3rd July 2010 as a part of 175th anniversary celebrations of Royal College. It was a grand event by any definition. Probably the festive atmosphere was even bigger than IIFA. And I am glad that I did not miss it.
It was very interesting to see other schools participating in the walk. If I remember right there was Kingswood and Trinity from Kandy too. It was nice of them to come all the way from there. There was College band, junior band, eastern band, and number of bands from nearby schools, and a quit a number of papara bands. I was bit surprised to see Mahanama College after seeing what some of their guys are doing on facebook. But it’s great that they came. I guess in every school there is a small bunch of guys who gives a wrong impression.
There were people from all the walks of life. Young Royalists with their parents, Royalists, Old Royalists, Really Old Royalists, teachers, past teachers, elephants, old fashion double decker buses, fancy cars, clowns, Ninja Turtles, Asterix, Obelix, and what the name of his crush?, she was there too. And I think I saw about 50 out of 300 Spartans minus King Leonidas. May be that’s what was left after the war with Persians 
. There were lots more fun stuff but this is all I can remember. Best part was meeting up with old pals after years and having a chat with them. I met many friends and classmates that I haven’t seen since I left school in 2002.
Parade was great and the Party was even better. Great DJ, food and the live band. Even the FIFA fans were able to catch the action on big screen. For me, the best part at the party was live performance of Royal SaGa guys. Their talent was amassing and they pulled off a brilliant show.

Here comes the program of events lined up for Inaugural RoyTho T20 cricket match. This was an e-mail I received yesterday. It is from the organizing committee of the event. I could not find same information on the web. Therefore I thought it’s good to share.
If you are a royalist looking to buy tickets you can buy them from RCU. RCU website has more information on it. You may find more information also on RoyTho T20 event page on facebook. I am not sure if anyone is planing to do an online broadcast of the match. But most probably you will lose all the fun if you watch it online.
