Havies favored

Inter Club Rugby League Super 4

By Shamzeer Jaleel

Champagne Rugby will be dished out when the two semi-finals of the Cup and Plate segments which will be worked off this week-end with three games in Colombo and one in Kandy.

Havies will be firmly favored team to pull off their encounter against the unpredictable, CR & FC. Havies been the most outstanding team in both round 1 and 2 will be heavily depending on Sharo Fernando, Dushmantha Priyadharshana (MRI to be cleared), Chamare Dabare and Riza Mubarak all being in their peak. Second half entry of Mithun Hapugoda always worked out for the Park Club's favor. They will miss out on Dinuk Amarasinghe who is yet to recover from his injury.

Meanwhile the Red Shirts will be heavily depending on Tharinda Ratwatte who won many encounters for the Longdon Place Club. Unfortunately he was not included in the starting line-up. Omalka Gunaratne, Reza Rafaideen, Kavindu Perera and Kevin Dixon will be top class players difficult to be kept under control. On form Havies should be on their way for the final encounter without being troubled much.
