Kandy SC V Navy SC What the fan said before the decider

The league is now over and the teams once again have the chance to compete with each other in the knock-outs which will commence from 20th march 2015. Kick off 4.15 pm at the Race Course Grounds.   

A most enthralling 2014/15 Dialog Rugby League ended with Kandy triumphing with the overall points difference being the decider over Navy to bag the championship. Although foreigners appeared in the league and there were some outstanding players like Christopher Cloete, Apisai Naqaliva and Robbie Malneek, there were some top local talent on display as well. Below is the pick of the local players, the league’s best XV picked by ThePapare.com

Kandy Sports Club was crowned as the new league title holders after a lapse of two years on points aggregate despite losing the encounter against Navy Sports Club in a close one point margin (12-11) at the Nittawela Rugby Stadium this evening.

CR & FC  ended their season on a winning note as they beat Police Sports Club by a single point in a cliff-hanger of a game played today at the Race course grounds in Colombo.

It is always difficult to beat Kandy S.C at Nittawela but winning with a bonus point or not conceding a losing bonus point is really a tough task for the defending champions Navy S.C

CR&FC recorded their first victory in the second round when they beat Air force 17 (2 tries, 2 conversion, 1 penalties) to 13(2 tries, 1 drop goal) in a Dialog Rugby League “A” Division match played at Air Force Ground yesterday. At half time CR led 17-5.

Kandy Sports Club staged a superb comeback to overcome a mighty Havelock SC offense and take home the win with a 22-20 score.

Defending champions Navy still top the table after beating CR&FC convincingly, but Kandy beating Army makes only a point different in the second spot with an extra game in hand.
