Impis rugby clubs denied Platinum Credit Heathens bonus points in a hotly contested game that ended 14–24 at the graveyard, Makerere.
Defending champions Heathens were in an early kickoff clash with Impis at the graveyard and only left with four points.
Heathens emerged the better side better side though they didn’t get the result that they are known of getting. Compared to the game played in round one, the Heathens thrashed the Impis 55-10 at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds.
Michael Amolo added another try, and Scot Oluoch added a hat-trick of tries for Muhammad Athiyo’s team. Scot Oluoch was ultimately named man of the match.
