Rugby Clubs renew rivalry this weekend

Mar 17, 2016

In this weekend’s action, Buzz Pirates host Hima Cement Heathens at Legends rugby club

The Nile special Premeir rugby League returns this weekend and with it comes the usual array of compelling sub-plots and unanswered questions.

In this weekend's action, Buzz Pirates host Hima Cement Heathens at Legends rugby club in what is dubbed as a must win clash for the latter if they are to keep their title hopes alive.

"We must win this game if we are to stay in the league title race and anything less than a point will mean we are out of title contention," Heathens Coach Robert Sseguya stated.

The weekend action starts Friday March 18, 2016 with former rugby giants Makerere Impis hosting Ezee Money Rhinos at the graveyard ground Makerere.

Impis will be out to avenge, the 26-5 first round defeat to Rhinos and players Kenneth Rubango, Paul Wabwire, Kamau Waweru and Cyrus Ssebuliba will be out to save the image of the former League champions.

However, Ezee Money Rhinos' coach Herbert Wafula will show no mercy when his teams meets his former employers and he is going in for a big win.

 "Every day I want a big win and we shall go for it," Wafula stated.

"We have been trying to improve in the transition phases so that we have a lethal attacking force to execute our moves and hopefully we have an improvement," Wafula added.

Team captain Richard Aciko (5 tries), Andrew Oduka (5tries) and David Ssemwami (4 Tries), will be out to increase the try tally as they chase Hima Cement's Asuman Mugerwa (12 tries) for the top try scorer contest.
