Carlsberg league champions Kandy Sports Club playing like a well-oiled machine made mince meat out of Air Force to beat them by 84 points (7 goals, 7 tries) to 8 (1 try, 1 penalty) to enter the semi-finals of the Clifford cup rugger tournament match played at Nittawila yesterday. At half-time Kandy led 48-3.

This was the season's highest score and Kandy could have easily topped the century mark but they dearly missed the services of a reliable place-kicker as Nalaka Weerakoddy limped off the field due to an injury seven try conversions most of them from kicking distance went abegging.

Saracens helped by a splendid half century by N. Ikram (71) were 220 for 6 at stumps in their BCCSL under-23 cricket match at Moratuwa yesterday against Crusaders. This game will be continued today at 10 a.m.
