SLTB suffer another heavy blow in Week Two

Week Two of the Sri Lanka Football Champions League came to an end yesterday, with fascinating football on display throughout the weekend at the Racecourse International Stadium.

The tournament resumed last Friday, with Matara City stepping onto the field for the first time this campaign against Sri Lanka Police, only to suffer a heavy defeat. Sri Lanka Police netted five goals past Matara City as the campaign resumed after what had been a disastrous couple of weeks for Sri Lankans due to Cyclone “Ditwah”. Later that day, New Star ran riot against Sri Lanka Transport Board, handing them their second successive heavy defeat of the tournament as they netted eight goals while holding onto a cleansheet.

Saturday’s double-header kicked off with Super Sun taking on Moragasmulla, with both sides eager to make an impression after below-par performances in Week One. Super Sun scored a couple of goals on the brink of half-time, which proved enough to secure all three points.

Later that day, Serendib faced Java Lane in what was expected to be a mouthwatering clash. It lived up to expectations, producing an end-to-end contest in which Serendib edged out their opponents with a single goal, which was enough to take all three points back home to Mawanella.

The final day of Week Two proved to be yet another goal fest. The double-header kicked off with Pelicans schooling Solid SC, netting four goals while conceding a consolation.
