Havelock Sports Club who are placed second behind Kandy will be all out to continue their winning streak when they confront Navy outfit at Welisara in their round two encounter.

Havies having done well so far in the league with limited resources losing out many of their players to other clubs will be the team to watch in this round. They are following Kandy in close distance of 7 points difference. Led by Niroshan Fernando and Coached by Sanath Martis Havelock SC got some top class players such as Sharo Fernando, Mithun Hapugoda, Reza Mubarak and Dinuk Amarasinghe all playing  their part, have a good chance to re-claim the league if they continue their winning streak in their round 2 remaining matches.

Meanwhile Sailors will expect a lot from their skipper and place kicker, Thilina Weerasinghe who being outstanding well supported by Musheen Faleel, Buddhima Piyaratne and Dinusha Wijesinghe. They were edged out by both Kandy and CH & FC in their last two games which easily could have gone their way. Navy will further lose out on two players who are under investigation for banned substance. Dhanushka Perera and Supun Dilshan will not be permitted to play in this encounter. They will be allowed to appeal and the final decision will be taken on that later. On form Havies should continue their winning form.
