Betway Kobs went into Saturday's clash with Jinja Hippos six points behind leaders Hima Cement Heathens. A 43-8 win, however, was enough for the Betway sponsored side to cut the deficit to a single point.
Kobs were made to work hard early in the game as the Hippos kept it tight at the back. Davis Kiwalabye, Roger Rukundo, Mark Osuna, Adrian Kasito and Patrick Leku would soon break the resistance for yet another bonus point victory for Fred Mudoola's charges.
Heathens had stretched the lead to six points after a 32-10 victory against Toyota Buffaloes in the Kyadondo derby on Friday. Kobs are now on 45 points while Heathens have 46 and team captain Brian Asaba is confident his troops can still take the trophy.
“We have to keep winning and put pressure on Heathens. We cannot afford to slip up," Asaba said after the game. In the other games, Dusupay Warriors arrested their losing streak with a 15-3 win over Shell Rimula Rhinos.
Joseph Oyet and Simon Nyeko crossed the white line for Ivan Makmot's charges. Nelson Mandela added a conversion and a penalty to seal victory. Third placed Stanbic Pirates demolished bottom side Walukuba Barbarians.
Bobby Musinguzi's charges cored 14 past the Barbarians with Isaac Rujumba and Kelvin Balagadde grabbing hatrick. The defending champions seem to have regained their form as they push to defend their championship.
