Defending champions Kandy start with a win .

Dialog Rugby League 2019/20

 

Defending champions Kandy SC started the season well going on to defeat Air Force SC by 26 points to 08 in their first game of the Dialog Rugby League 2019/20 at home in Nittawela, Kandy.

It was heavy rain in Kandy when the game kicked off and was not easy for both teams handling the ball. Kandy scored first in the 10th minute of the game when Buwaneka Udangamuwa went over the line off a Kandy scrum. Thilina Wijesinghe did the needful with the conversion to take an early 07 point lead.

Thereafter Lavanga Perera scored the 2nd try under the post for the host, and Thilina Wijesinghe once again obliged with the 2 extra points to take Kandy to 14 points.

Soon after, Air Force got their first points on the board through a penalty from Gayantha Iddamalgoda in the 28th Minute of the game.

Though it was slippery conditions, Kandy managed to handle the ball to work their line well for Diluksha Dange to touch down near the corner flag on the brink of half time. Kandy went in to half time with comfortable lead of 19 to 03 over the visitors.

Captain Nigel Ratwatte put his name on the score sheet soon into the 2nd half with the help of his forwards to score the 4th try for the host. Thilina Wijesinghe showed his kicking skill once again completing a difficult kick through the post. Kandy were up 26 points to 03.

Air Force finally managed to score their first try of the game when hooker Parakrama Rathnayake went over the try-line. Fullback Gayantha Iddamalgoda failed to make the conversion.

There were opportunities for teams to score, but the slippery wet conditions were just too much to handle. Air Force received a few penalty opportunities, but failed to capitalize even after flanker Tharindu Chathuranga was sent off with a yellow card.

Kandy SC once again showed their skill and dominance even it rainy conditions, and as always dominated proceedings in the first half. Air Force will learn from their mistakes and will be looking to come back strongly in the next game.

Score at Full Time:

Kandy SC - 26 (4 converted Tries) / Police SC - 08 (1 Try, 1 Penalty)
