Fielding a virtual national team which comprised Sanjeewa Jayasinghe, Sajith and Bandula Mallikarachchi, Amjad Buksh, Chamara Vithanage and national youth player Eranda Weerakko- dy, Kandy annihilated all opposition that crossed their path.

In their opening game Kandy SC beat CH and FC ‘B’ by 43 points to nil. In their second outing the hill country lads cuffed the cops by a margin of 45 points to 5 and then drowned the sailors by another huge margin 45 points to 7.
