Remera Buffaloes wallop Lions

Yesterday, Remera Buffaloes proved why they are the top rugby team in the country when they beat old foes Lions de fer at Red Cross, Kacyiru grounds. Prior to the game, there was plenty of hype coming especially from the Lions’ camp. They promised to end the Buffaloes’ run in the Inyange national rugby league. When the game started, the Lions came with bared claws and canines. They played the dirtiest roughest game especially in the rucks. However, the Buffaloes who almost lost their cool were calmed by Captain Didier Kamanzi who firmly called for calm and focus from his team. It wasn’t long before the Buffaloes broke the Lions with two quick tries from Allan Amin and Moise Hassan. The first half ended 24-00, with the Lions licking their wounds. Buffaloes kicked off the second half in ernest. A quick try from scrum half Ivan Kevin Makmot was followed by one from talismanic Vincent Kamali. Matters were not helped by Patrick Leku and Emmanuel Migisha’s hard hits and tackles that opened space for the Buffaloes to rain in more tries from Lucien Bikamba, Eric Mbarushimana, coach-player Gerald Nsenga and icing on the cake by Joseph Bugabo. The game ended 58-00. In the other games of the day, Tumba College Jaguars visited UNR Grizzlies of Huye. The latter won at 24-7 with tries from Koko Marcel Cambara and Ignace. Sharks RFC visited Kamonyi Pumas but the results were not yet availed by press time. In other news, Lycee de Ruhango upset Apred Ndera with a 14-13 win in Gitarama to lift the schools’ rugby trophy.
