To add to their woes Ex-Sri Lanka player Dilanka Wijesekera is away in Doha, Qatar.Nevertheless CH have trained hard during the last few weeks and beat Police in a practice game a few days ago.They have an adequate back division. The experienced Roy Nishantha is likely to operate from the base of the scrum and will pair off with Omar Hassen.Two hard runners and solid tacklers - Sri Lanka ruggerites Avantha Hettiarachchi and Shane Dissanayake will be the centres. That powerful runner and ex-National player Lakala Perera and Niroshan Ekanayake will be manning the wings with Indika Udayakumara likely to occupy the full back berth.The Sri Lanka Army led by lock forward Ajith Susantha will be fielding a side laden with seasoned campaigners.The forte of the soldiers have been their power-packed forwards and once again players of the calibre of Nushal Meepage, Nishantha Kotalawala, Asoka Jayalal, Pushpakumara, Ratnayake, Manoj Silva and skipper Susantha are likely to give a fiery display in the loose which would help them to outplay their counterparts.Probable teams:CH and FC: Sathya Ranatunge, Bimal Herath, Tharindu Hasananga, Sandun Kumara, Hiran Bibile, Asanka Thalagalarachchi, Asoka Gunawardena, Dinesh Sanjeewa (Captain), Roy Nishantha and Omar Hassen, Lakala Perera, Avantha Hettiarachchi, Shane Dissanayake, Niroshan Ekanayake, Indika Udayakumara.Army: Nushal Meepage, Asoka Jayalal, Nishantha Kotelawala, Ajith Susantha (Captain), Ajith Pushpakumara, R.
