FAMED for troubling giant teams, Entebbe Mongers are relishing the business end of 2011 Nile Special Premier Rugby League that will see them host champions Heathens in Entebbe this Saturday.
Mongers, still harbouring bitter memories of last season encounter in which they conceded a controversial late try, cannot wait to avenge the defeat.
“All our players know what to do when they step on the pitch. It’s a game we have to win and we must work hard for it,†Mongers coach/player Kigongo Ssebalamu stated.
“Heathens are champions, we are going to step up our game and all players have promised to give it their best.â€
Kigongo whose side has won all their three games will be out to claim their first major scalp at their home ground dubbed ‘House of Pain’.
League leaders Heathens, enjoying an unbeaten run, face their first major test this season.
Meanwhile, Eric Butiime has declared his readiness to lead depleted Pirates to victory against Kobs.
The teams battle having won all
their first four games of the annual Uganda Rugby Union event.
