Rams during a match against Rhinos at The Graveyard

Rams Rugby Club has been booted out of Makerere Rugby Grounds with immediate effect.

The use of the rugby grounds, known as ‘The Graveyard’ has been described as trespass on the facility of the institution and thus has been demarcated as out of bounds to Rams Rugby Grounds with immediate effect.

The club, however, has been advised to follow procedure in case they are interested in using the grounds again.
