The final of the Senior Inter League Soccer Championship is scheduled to be played at the CR and FC ground today with the kick off at 4.00 p.m.

Civil Security Force Football League will confront Trincomalee Football League in this final. Civil Security Force who entered the final of the Holcim FA Cup final is a confident lot after super performance in this tourney. They completely outplayed their opponent comprehensively during the preliminary stage to reach the final.

First they defeated Balangoda FL 9-0, Kandy FL 5-4, NSSA FL 11-1 and in the semis beat Hatton FL 4-0. The scores in these four games showed their striking power scoring a total of 24 goals which conceding only five goals in the process.

Meanwhile, Trincomalee FL too has a good record behind them winning three games against Batticaloa FL 3-1, Polonnaruwa FC 4-0 and Ampara FL 5-4. The semi-finals saw them lose to Wattala FL 5-1, but after a protest by the Trincomalee FL the win was awarded to them which also paved the way for them to reach the final.

Trincomalee FL will have to put on a strong defence line if they are to halt the goal hungry Civil Security Force if they are to give a challenge to them. It is left to be seen how the strikers of the CSF will work their way to penetrate the defence of Trinco lads who too are geared to go all out to win this championship.

President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka Hurley Silveira will be the chief guest at the final today.
