We wish you all the best coach.

Alhamdulillah We are pleased to announce a significant milestone for Al-Manar National School. After 92 years of distinguished history, we have embarked on an exciting new chapter by introducing hardball cricket for students across the Under-11 to Under-19 age groups. This advancement comes as a result of our successful registration with Sri Lanka School Cricket, enabling us to compete in official tournaments.

Today marked a historic moment as we celebrated our inaugural match in this new cricketing initiative. We are delighted to share that our Under-17 team secured a commendable victory in this debut game, setting an optimistic tone for the season ahead.

This achievement is the result of considerable hard work, meticulous planning, and the unwavering support of many dedicated individuals. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this vision a reality. Your commitment and enthusiasm have been instrumental in bringing this exciting development to fruition.

The boys showed resilience after losing the first match and came back strong to win the second match by 8 wickets, securing a wonderful victory for the team.

Last Monday, the U-15 Boys competed against the U-15 team from Galagedara Center College. It is pleasing to witness the boys' continuous improvement with each passing day.

Practice match between U-15 VS U17, great victory for U-15 Boys.

The U-17 team had a strong start, scoring 192 runs in 26 overs, with Hanan leading the way with 73 runs. Yoosuf contributed with an unbeaten 39 runs, while Munshif scored 19 runs. In response, the U-15 team's bowlers performed well, with Hussain taking 3 wickets in just 3.3 overs and Abdurahman Ishak taking 2 wickets in 3 overs. In their second innings, the U-15 team successfully chased down the target, scoring 193 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 31 overs. Abdurahman Naeem played a crucial role with an unbeaten 41 runs, supported by Aiyoob Farahan with 12 runs and Rifah with 9 runs. The U-15 team emerged victorious, winning the match by 4 wickets. Hussain was recognized as the best bowler of the match, Hanan as the best batsman, and Abdurahman Naeem as the man of the match.

Today, a friendly 50-over match between Al-Manar U-15 and U-17 took place at Kandy Vidhyaraththa turf ground.

It is truly gratifying to witness our young cricketers putting in consistent effort to prepare for the upcoming tournament. Their commitment and perseverance are truly admirable.

Happy Eid-ul-Fitr! May Allah bless you with joy, peace, and success. Have a great day!

The U-15 and U-17 teams, consisting of talented young cricketers, were thrilled to receive their brand new practice jerseys yesterday at the highly anticipated Ifthar event. This event, which brought together players, coaches, and supporters, was a momentous occasion that marked the beginning of an exciting chapter for these budding sports stars.

Al-Manar Cricket organized an iftar program for the school cricketers, school principal, some staff, and SDC members. We appreciate all the participants and are pleased to see our cricket team progressing.
