CH to give Kandy a close run by S. M. JIFFREY ABDEEN, Kandy sports corr CH & FC who scored a morale boosting win over CR & FC last weekend, will take on the unbeaten and table leaders Kandy Sports Club in a Caltex League 'A' division inter-club rugby tournament match to be played at Nittawela today. When these two teams clashed about three weeks ago at Maitland Crescent, Kandy Sports Club emerged clear winners beating their opponents 40-13 in a game they could have piled up more points. since then CH & FC have improved and could pose some serious threats to the Kandy team who are virtually invincible up in their fortified fortress at Nittawela where they have run up cricket scores in some of the matches. A win here for Kandy will further consolidate their chances of retaining the Caltex League title as they now have somewhat of an unassailable lead. According to a spokesman for Kandy Sports Club, the match will be preceded by the clash of the kiddies of both clubs around 3.30 p.m. which in popular parlance is mini rugby. This will be followed by the Golden Oldies match between the two clubs which will see the over 35s in action. For CH & FC some of the 'old hands' who have served the club will once again don jerseys and those who are down to scrum down are Nishantha Dias, Bharatha Hegoda, Rohan Abeykoon, Chandrishan Perera, Hisham Abdeen, Iqbal Hassan, Aruna Udawalagedera and many others.
