Police SC produced a dominant and disciplined performance to register a stunning 30/10 victory over Army SC in their Inter-Club Rugby League encounter played at Police Park on Saturday.

Showing greater intent and cohesion from the outset, the hosts set the tone early and carried a deserved 17-10 lead at the short breather.

Tries from Heshan Kalhara and Fijian Kaliova Mocetadra gave the home side early momentum, while Sameera Jayasinghe’s effort further underlined Police’s attacking threat.

Sujan Kodithuwakku was the standout performer of the match, crossing the line twice to seal an emphatic win and cap off a fine all-round team effort. Pasindu Tharuka added the extras with a well-taken conversion, while Prince Chamara kept the scoreboard ticking with a crucial penalty.

Army SC struggled to match Police’s intensity but managed to respond through tries by Prasanna Jayathunga and Tharun Warnuasiri. Despite brief spells of pressure, Army found it difficult to break down a resolute Police defence that tackled aggressively and controlled territory effectively.

The Referee was Nalin Lasantha. (SJ)
