By Harry Jayachandra

Havelocks scored a narrow 24 points ( 3 goals 1 penalty) to 20 points ( 2 goals 2 penalties) win over Air Force in their Caltex Rugby ‘A’ division tie at Ratmalana, yesterday. At half time the winners led by 14 points to 10.

It was a scrappy, but, open game where both sides were faulty of bad handling. For the Havelocks No 8 Rajev Ganapathy, Janaka Fonseka and Radeesha Seneviratne scored while Fly half Sampath Lakshan added the extra points.

For the Airmen winger Roshan Ratnayake and scrum half Radeesha Seneviratne scored the tries while Ful back Chanaka Chandimal converted the tries and put over the penalties.
