Black Pirates defeated Plascon Mongers 17-5 to clinch the Coronation Sevens tournament hosted by Shell Rimula Rhinos at Legends Rugby Club on Saturday.
The victory was Pirates' third this year and took them a step closer to this year's National Rugby Sevens Series championship.
The sixth leg of the competition came with Pirates leading defending champions Betway Kobs by five points and that gap has since widened. Kobs crashed out of the tournament at the quarters as they fell to Mongers.
Having fallen at the semi-final hurdle in the Henry Rujumba Sevens, Pirates were not willing to lose the Coronation Cup and they called upon their national team players.
Eventual player of the tournament Timothy Kisiga and Ivan Magomu were in superb form for the to be crowned champions.
To book their place in the final, Pirates defeated Rujumba Sevens victors Toyota Buffaloes 14-00 to avenge their loss at the same stage last week.
Entebbe based Mongers beat Rams 17-12 in extra time to set up a meeting with the table leaders and eventual winners.
The win for Pirates moved them 17 points ahead of second placed Kobs in the title race.
Now on 117 points, Pirates now have one hand on the trophy with only two circuits left on the calendar.
Buffaloes are closely monitoring Kobs' works from third position after garnering 98 points.
Black Pearls lifted the ladies' cup on the day to ensure double happiness for the Pirates' family.
