THE withdrawal by East African Breweries EABL from sponsoring the Elgon Cup will not stop the event between Uganda and Kenya.

THE withdrawal by East African Breweries EABL from sponsoring the Elgon Cup will not stop the event between Uganda and Kenya.

EABL announced last week: “The business position is not to continue with this sponsorship.”

Kenya hosts Cranes in Nairobi on Saturday and the return leg is due in Kampala August 29.

“It’s unfortunate EABL withdrew at such a time but we have to continue,” Uganda rugby union chairman William Blick said over the weekend.

“As a region we have embarked on the hunt for other sponsors,” he noted, adding that plans to revive the East African Rugby Union were underway.
