The Handbook of Ceylon Cricket – Other Field Sports (1902) reports the scores of the first match played by the Club. The Ceylon Annual mentioned B. Tennakoon having a match bag of 10 wickets for SSC vs Galle. The Ceylon Independent of 15.07.1901 – commenting on the magnificent performance of the Singhalese Sports Club in their first match stated "The SSC a new organization has taken the cricket world by storm. Their first essay entitles them to an undisputed place amongst the First Class Clubs & its expectations are not hopelessly falsified. The Club is hopeful of giving the Colts much trouble in maintaining their rights to the style & dignity of the Premier Club.Not long after the SSC met the Colts CC in 1902 but were beaten by an innings and 19 runs. "

 The Colombo Cricket Club / Colts CC or the NCC/Colts CC match held pride of place in local First Class Club Cricket, but with the formation of the SSC, the Colts CC/SSC match attracted much attention. The First President of the Club was Sir Harry Dias, First Hony. Secretary H.J.V.I. Ekanayake, First Treasurer Philip de Silva & First Cricket Captain – O.G. de Alwis. The Club attracted the best school boy players from Royal, S. Thomas’, Wesley, St. Josephs & Trinity.

S.P. Foenander writing the history of Colombo Colts Cricket Club (1941) says “powerful though the SSC were in that first decade of their history they were never able to inflict a defeat on the Colts who were almost invincible in those days. It was not until 1913 SSC were able to defeat the Colts CC for the first time. It was a sensational finish when SSC won by 4 runs at the Racquet Court grounds.

Played on Galle Face on July 14th 1901, and won by the SSC by 189 runs on the 1st innings.
