Ahead of the two Saturday games, REG are in third place with nine points, having won three and lost one game in their first four games, respectively. Talking to Saturday Sport on Friday, head coach Benon Mugisha Barayavuga appealed to his players to consider the two games as must-win in order to go into halfway break on a high. “We can’t afford any mistake to lose any of the two games. We have already lost one game – against Gisagara, and that hurt our title aspirations a lot. In order to boost our chances, we must ensure we win all our remaining games,” said Mugisha. REG will play IPRC- East at 1pm before taking on Kirehe four hours later in their second game of the day. Kirehe will tussle it out with IPRC- East in the other match at 3pm.
