Hima Cement Heathens outwitted the star-studded Betway Kobs 15-12 in a closely contested Nile Special Premier Rugby League game at Kyadondo
on Saturday.
Kobs, taking advantage of their stronger park, mauled the Heathens twice to the try line taking an early 12-0 half time.
Ronald Musajja and Robert Aziku had tries, while Ivan Kirabo had a conversion.
Heathens regrouped in the second half changing their plan to a running game which paid off with a try by Alex Mubiru and conversion by
Kevin Keremundu to close the gap to 12-7.
The hosts mounted more pressure and got a penalty scored by Paul Epilo to close the gap to 12-10 before Michael Wokorach added a try to
seal a 15-12 victory.
"We relaxed in the first half and played Kobs' game. In the second half, we played our game and got the win," Heathens coach Muhammad Athio said.
In the other game, Stanbic Pirates defeated Plascon Mongers 31-19.
"We wanted this game more because last weekend we messed up and lost to Heathens." Pirates vice-captain Nathan Bwambale said.
