Confident Army SC will be meet the Sailors at Ratmalana on December 7. Army after their last week%u2019s win against CH & FC will be with full of confidence meeting the Sailors. Army so far lost out to Havies and Kandy. Meanwhile the Sailors lost out to CR & FC and Havies winning against Police and Air Force. So the battle between the two forces going to be interesting and no one is favored to pull it off easily in this game.

Navy led by Thilina Weerasinghe he is yet to find his peak in kicking at goal and territorial advantage play. He is capable of toppling any side with his ample talent in kicking and finding touch at a very god distance without much effort. This could be the game for him to return to his peak. Mohamed Abzaal, Buddima Piyaratne, and Adeesha Weeratunga are cracking players. They are coached by Mothilal Jayathilake.

Meanwhile the Solders are led by Upul Abeyratne and well supported by Mohamed Rizvi, Manoj Wickramarachchi and Dikkumbura are men made out of steel. Gayan Salinda kicks will be vital to narrow the gap. Army are coached by Nihal Viper (jnr) Gunaratne. On form it will be a close battle between the two forces outfit with neither of them holding the edge in this vital encounter. The venue could be changed depending on the inquiry outcome at the Air Force and Navy encounter where one of the Assistant referee was assaulted by spectators. The hosting team is responsible for safety of players, referees and spectators. An inquiry will be held by Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) tomorrow.
