Stumbling CH face Air Force at Ratmalana

By Sandun Kodithuwakku

CH & FC are scheduled to face eighth-placed Air Force Sports Club in their match-week seven fixture of the Dialog Rugby League 2019/20 at Ratmalana tomorrow (17).

CH has so far won one game, against Navy Sports Club, and held on to a draw against Army Sports Club, while Air Force Sports club has lost all six games this season.

CH is having a difficult season mainly because they have still not found their best starting team. They have been chopping and changing players and that has not helped them to play well as a unit.

Meanwhile, Air Force fly-half Gayantha Iddamalgoda, centres Charitha Senevirathne and James Juterovuya returned to the team after their injuries.

Air Force will rely on their Fijian player Juterovuya who is doing well for them. He scored two cracking tries against CR four weeks ago and this will be a good opportunity for him to make a big impact.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 4 pm.

CH & FC: Sathya Ranathunga, Pulasthi Dassanayake, Dushmantha Priyadarshana, Matheesha Sarathchandra,, Mohommed Nizran, Niwanka Prasad, Sudarshana Muthuthanthri, Chathura Dilshan, Suhail Waseem and Rohitha Rajapaksa, Anuradha Herath, Hirantha Perera, Warren Weerakoon, Awantha Lee, Arshad Jamaldeen

Air Force SC: Niroshan Rajanayake, Parakrama Rathnayake, Nuwan Rajakaruna, Thimira Amanda, Shashika Fernando, Anjula Hettiarachchi, Gimhana Silva, Saraka Werella Gayantha Iddamalgoda and Charitha Senevirathne, Ishara Madhushan, James Juterovuya, Amitha Prabhath, Kaushal Manupriya, Faris Ali
