CR have the edge over Havelocks

The formidable CR and FC which scored two smashing wins over Air Force (26-0) and Police (54-3) will go all out to notch up their third successive win when they confront traditional rivals Havelocks Sports Club in their Caltex 'A' Division League rugby match at Havelock Park today.

The Park Club which surrendered meekly to Army (0-33) and CH and FC (6-56) in their first two outings are expected to put up a much better display today.

Sri Lanka No. 8 Dushanth Lewke who missed the first match due to injury makes a welcome return to the CR team while Kingswoodian Mohamed Rizwan will fill the hooker's position.

Sri Lanka centre Lasintha de Costa moves over to the wing paving the way for Niroshan Karunanayake to occupy the centre berth.
