Betway Kobs face Heathens for Finals slot


After heavy recruitment in the preseason, Betway Kobs and Hima Cement Heathens will face off in the first semi-final of the Uganda Cup at Legends Rugby Club on Saturday.

The two sides, coming from a season to forget, after finishing outside the top two in the league and failing to lift any silverware, lock horns for a finals slot in a Saturday lunchtime kick off.

Fred Mudoola’s charges didn't need to unleash all their signings as they dispatched Walukuba Barbarians in the round of 16. They went on to defeat Plascon Mongers 18-16 in Entebbe to make the semis.

For Heathens, Kyambogo and Rams faced the wrath of the new look side in the round of 16 and quarterfinal respectively.  Now, the stage is set for teams that have ruled Ugandan rugby for donkey's years to decide who makes the final.

Kobs have recalled old guards like Joseph Aredo and Ronald Musajjagulanyago from stints in the Kenyan league on top of adding fresh weapons to the arsenal.

Robert Aziku and Ivan Kirabo are some of the new faces while Pius Ogena is also set to wear blue this campaign. Oscar Kalyango is also back after a long layoff because of injury.

The Legends outfit will also have the luxury of selecting some of the players fresh from the Africa 7s championship in Tunisia. Heathens could easily be mistaken for Toyota Buffaloes, if not for the different kits.

The Kyadondo powerhouse raided Buffaloes and collected eight starters. Charles Uhuru, Paul Epiru, Gerald Ssewankambo, Paul Masendi and Simon Olet are some of the players tasked with taking Heathens back to the top having had a good season with Buffaloes.
