Rugby: Winless Panthers tackle relentless Thunderbirds

Women rugby teams renew their rivalry on Saturday in Entebbe and Legends Rugby Clubs respectively in the battle for top positions in the National Women League.

At Legends, Black Panthers host table leaders and defending champions Thunderbirds targeting their first win of the season after losing their opening two to Entebbe Sharks and Walukuba Titans.

Thunderbirds who boast top national players including Rachael Kakaire, Samiya Ayikoru, Charity Atimango, Rosenberg Kanyunyuzi, Mary Choita and Nile Special Nile USPA female rugby player of 2015, Asha Nakityo, are not in charitable mood.

"We are always a better side and we are looking for not just a win but a bonus point" Nakityo stated.

Entebbe Lady Sharks will host Walukuba Titans in the battle for second place as both are separated by just a point on the table.
