A fully loaded Kandy Sports Club outfit emphatically underlined their championship credentials in the Cup segment of the Inter-Club Rugby League 2025/26, producing a ruthless display to overwhelm Havelock Sports Club 42/17 at Havelock Park on Saturday with a six-try blitz.
-
The commanding six-try victory signalled that the defending champions are firmly back on track in the title race, with a home Super Final at Nittawela now very much within reach.
Kandy led 15/10 at the short breather.
Kandy's performance was all the more impressive given they were reduced to 14 men for the final 15 minutes of play. Yet, rather than panic, the visitors displayed composure and clinical efficiency, outscoring Havies during that period and reinforcing their reputation as the benchmark side in Sri Lankan club rugby.
