Betway Kobs back Adrian Kasito will be one of the captains when Flood Lights rugby takes centre stage at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds Friday night.
He is one of the eight selected captains and will represent Kobs with his Sports Day franchise.
The team name, comes from Kasito's pace that has seen him leave opponents for dead on various occasions enroute to the try line.
Kasito is a permanent fixture in the Uganda 7s national team and his last gasp try won the country their second Africa Sevens Championship two years ago.
With the National 7s calendar scheduled to start next month, floodlights rugby will help rugby enthusiasts transit from 15s action to the shorter version of the game.
“The national 7s will be starting next month and we want to get the fans and players in the mood. But having players from different league teams, playing together is an extra we are having this Friday." said Ramsey Olinga, the Uganda Rugby Union CEO ahead of the event.
