The Schools Rugby Sevens Championship will be played at the Colombo Racecourse Ground on 12 and 13 December, bringing the curtain down on the schools rugby season.
Twenty-four boys' teams and, for the second year running, eight girls' teams have confirmed entries. Pool matches will be played on Saturday, with the Cup, Plate and Bowl knockouts on Sunday afternoon.
Organisers Lanka Youth Sports Foundation said the sevens format suits the end of the season, giving coaches a chance to rotate squads and give younger players game time ahead of next year's league.
Entry for spectators is free on both days. Food stalls and a family zone will be set up along the Reid Avenue side of the ground.
