D.S.Senanayake College, Colombo will go out as firm favourites when they lock horns against Zahira College Maradana in their first round Singer ‘A’ Division inter-schools league rugby encounter at Navy grounds, Welisara today, commencing at 4.15pm.
DSS after their sensational display against Isipathana last week where they narrowly lost 24-25, are packed with some outstanding players such as captain cum hardy second row forward Chamuka Sheshan, Vishal Wijesiri, Dinusha Hemasiri, Harshula Perera and Kaveesha Rambukwella, all of whom are match winners. But they should get their act together if they are to pull off a win against unpredictable Zahira outfit. This year the D.S.Senanayake team is playing under their veteran head coach Mothilal Jayathilake.
Meanwhile the Zahira lads will play under the watchful eyes of head coach Shamly Nawaz, who is one of the finest coaches at present. Zahirans will be captained by experienced player and number eight Muammar Deen. Zahira lost to St.Peters College last week by 12 points to 48 in their first outing, hence they will come out with their best outfit for this game with players of the calibre of Minhaj Samsudeen, Shamahil Soweito, Akmal Meedin, Rahuman Booso, Tuan Thajudeen and Rushdi Abdeen who will go out with all guns blazing to topple D.S.Senanayake outfit and make a shock win.
