Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club, commonly abbreviated as NSWC, is a first-class cricket club in Sri Lanka. It is one of the 14 affiliated clubs of Sri Lanka Cricket.[1] Tillakaratne Sampath is the current captain of the club.
Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club was founded in 1970. NSWC sought an interim injunction against the interim committee from preventing using the Board of Control for Cricket funds in Sri Lanka in 2001.[2] Before its first-class debut, NSWC participated in the under-23 tournament since 2002.[3] Nuwan Kulasekara played for NSWC in the under-23 tournament in the early days of his career.[4]
Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club made its first-class debut in 2020. NSWC played against Kalutara Town Club in Aaron's Cricket Club Ground in the 2019–20 Premier League Tournament Tier B. NSWC secured a 119-run win in its first match, and Denuwan Rajakaruna captained the side.[5]
