Division I soccer final tomorrow

BERNARD Perera

The Division I soccer championship organised by Football Federation of Sri Lanka will come to a close when the final of this tourney takes place on Saturday at the CR & FC ground. The finalists are Green Field SC from Kalutara and Comrades SC from Badulla.

Before reaching the final both teams have played six matches and won five and drawn a game each. Greenfield drew with Youngsters SC while their opponents Comrades SC failed to win against Brilliant SC.

On form Comrades SC have a slight edge when looking at the goal aggregate. They have scored 22 goals giving away only 6. Meanwhile Greenfield SC though they reached the final has only 14 goals in their favour and given away six. This comparison shows the striking power of Comrades SC.

If the Kalutara Club is to halt the goal hungry Comrades, they must put on a strong defence line and go on the attack which could pose a big threat.

The team that plays a good disciplined game could come out as victors on this day. Both teams will definitely go flat out to win this game as they are hoping to make their debuts in to the forthcoming Dialog Premier League tournament.

The winners will go with the trophy and a purse to the value of Rs. 250,000 while the runners-up too get a trophy and Rs. 100,000.
