A close battle for supremacy can be expected when Kandy Sports Club lock horns with giant killers Air Force Sports Club in their opening game of the SLR ‘A’ Division inter club league rugby tournament today at Air Force grounds at Rathmalana, kick off will be at 4.00 pm.
Going by the two teams Kandy has the edge hence will have a definite chance of coming on top over Air Force as they have a heavy set of forwards as well as a speedy three quarter line and this factor makes the event a thrilling tussle.
Kandy led by fly half Nigel Ratwatte also will have a definite advantage when it comes to the halves combination of Ratwatte and ex Sri Lanka captain and scrum half Roshan Weeraratne are very much faster than Air Force halves combination.
The Air Force boys with the presence of a sturdy set of forwards who are capable of pulling the game in their favour will have to play a vital role in today's game and if their speedy three quarter line delivers the desired results today, then it will be a daunting task for the Kandy lads. But they will be countering their attack to pull off a much needed victory in the end.
