A point is all the defending Champions of the Nile Special league needed a bonus top go top after thrashing record Champions UTL kobs 22-10 in a high tempo game played at Kyadondo Rugby ground this evening.
The game that would have assured the visitors their eleventh title saw Jude Kerumundu score two tries, Chris Lubanga and Jonathan Onen one each.
“Nothing would have made us loss today’s game and the players really had positive minds out there today,” Heathens coach Brian Tabaruka said.
Andrew Barasa got some life back for the Kobs’ fans when
he converted their first try before Kevin Markmot convert to make it ten
Kobs play buffaloes next weekend while Heathens entertain Rhinos, if the latter win all their remaining games they will be crowned champions for the fourth straight season.
2008 is the year Kobs last won the league and it is likely to remain the year Uganda’s most successful club last won the league.
