Dickoya Maskeliya Cricket Club (DMCC) established during the British colonial era, served as a social and recreational hub for British planters who managed the surrounding tea estates. Over the decades, it evolved into an institution where plantations managers and their families gathered to unwind, foster camaraderie and enjoy the spirit of sport amidst the breathtaking beauty of the hill country.
With its scenic grounds and iconic clubhouse, and its rich in history and traditions, the DMCC continues to be a cherished institution where sports and social gatherings promote a healthy work- life balance for members of the plantation community.
Forbes & Walker founded in 1881, shares a long and intertwined history with both the plantation industry and the DMCC. Its association with DMCC reflects a commitment to upholding traditions and encouraging the development of sports, whilst supporting and participating in the club’s many initiatives.
Together, the DMCC and Forbes & Walker represent more than just institutions – they embody a legacy of trust, continuity and the enduring spirit of plantation community.
As the DMCC continues its proud journey, we extend our warmest wishes for its continued success. May it remain a beacon of tradition and may the generations of planters to come cherish and uphold the values that have made the DMCC a cornerstone of the plantation community for
well over a century.
