RUGBY PREMIERSHIP Pirates out to maintain perfect start against Mongers

Peter Tabu • 17:21 - 10.02.2023

Stanbic Black Pirates will visit Plascon Mongers on matchday five of the Nile Special Rugby League on Saturday 11th February at Busambaga grounds in Entebbe.

The Sea Robbers have had a perfect start to the season going unbeaten after four matchdays, a run they hope continues according to head coach Marvin Odongo.

"We have gone through our usual training routines and nothing has changed a lot, the goal remains the same, to dominate and hopefully win the game," he stated.

Despite the run, Pirates have a few improvements to make: “I think we need to improve our defence and limit the number of points conceded." Odongo added..

Pirates are leading the 10 team log with 18 points, two ahead of second placed Kobs.

Plascon Mongers on the other hand have been blowing hot and cold. The Entebbe based side returned to winning ways against Walukuba on match day four after back to back defeats to Hippos and Impis.

Sixth placed Plascon Mongers have managed nine points, three ahead of seventh placed Hippos and five ahead of eighth placed Rams.

They will be relying on fly half Edgar Kairu who has so far scored the most points for them this season.
