Heathens defeated Mongers by 34-13 at home to extend their unbeaten run to 4 games and their stay atop the log for the second matchday in a row.
The Kyadondo-based outfit has had a tough start to the season. From hosting rivals Kobs in the opening match to visiting Black Pirates the next weekend, Heathens had a herculean task at their hands to accomplish.
They were able to edge their strongest opponents in the league, Kobs and Black Pirates, by slim victories of 06-00 and 08-03 respectively, and closed the year with a humongous 59-03 win over Impis at The Graveyard.
starting the year on a high is a bonus to us, because it is going to give us the momentum to go forward in the season.
