The Legends Rugby Club in Kampala will play host to the championship rugby playoff final between the Kitante Eagles and the Warriors. Both teams are looking to earn promotion to the Nile Special Rugby Premier League for the next season. This crucial game features two teams that are not only prepared to play a high-intensity match but are also focused on winning this vital fixture.
The Warriors have already gone through an enormous challenge to bring themselves to this point. They lost to the Mbale Wolves but successfully petitioned for a rematch, which they won. Therefore, they are well aware of the importance of capitalizing on their second chance and earning promotion to the top league.
Richard Kinyai and Henry Musiisi, two crucial players for Warriors, are looking to capitalize on their premiership rugby experience on the pitch. They both played an instrumental role in defeating the Mbale Wolves in the semi-final. Kinyai scored two penalty kicks, three tries, and two conversions, while Musiisi scored a penalty.
On the other hand, Kitante Eagles’ coach, Edmond Tumusiime, has assured his players and fans that they are more than ready to take on the Warriors. He acknowledges the threat from his opponents, who have significantly improved their team. However, thanks to careful preparation and planning, his team is ready for any challenge that comes their way.
Kitante Eagles eliminated Gulu Falcons en route to this final. Meanwhile, the Warriors showcased their prowess by defeating the Mbale Wolves 31-6 in a rematch held in Jinja.
The winner between these two fiercely competitive teams will be promoted to the 10-team premiership league next year to replace the Rams, who have been relegated. This game promises to be a bruising and high-octane fixture with both teams fighting for their dreams.
