Kandy Sports Club have a task at hand, but known for their winning pedigree, Kandy are a force to be reckon with.
Will the wounded Kandy outfit be able to bounce back from their week 7 defeat?
Havelock SC v CR & FC at Havelock Park on the 2nd of February
Havelock Sports Club take on CR & FC as the two teams lock horns for the Matthysz Trophy. The first leg was won by CR 25-10 at Longdon Place and now the attention shifts to Havelock Park in what promises to be a crucial game for CR as much for Havelocks.
The equation is straight forward for CR & FC as they know, that 3 wins during the Cup Segment will all but secure them their first title in 1998.
Havelocks will be determined to stop them for achieving this feat, as much as winning the Matthysz Trophy will be a battle within the war.

CH & FC vs Kandy SC at Race course on the 3rd of February
CH & FC have a prime opportunity to dismantle Kandy, however the wounded Holders come down to Colombo, raring to go!
A Champion outfit always manages to bounce back after a defeat and it will be interesting to see how a wounded and weakened Kandy outfit bounces back.
CH & FC are poised to be in a good frame of mind to get over the line and with Sanath Martis at the helm, the experienced campaigner will surely know how to get under skin of a anguished opponent.
Kandy are still the favourites, but if CH are able to get over the line, they will no doubt be doing fellow rivals CR a massive favour.
