They played 13 first-class matches in 1996-97, losing 10 and drawing three, and finished last. Their captain was Pathmanath Perera, who hit the team's highest score, 133, against Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club,[1] and took the best bowling figures, 6 for 41, against Panadura Sports Club.[2]
