The Uganda Rugby Premiership resumes Saturday with a high-stakes semifinal at Kings Park Arena, Bweyogerere, where Stanbic Black Pirates welcome Platinum Credit Heathens for the decisive second leg of their playoff clash.
The Pirates carry momentum after a 15-3 first-leg win at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds, leaving Heathens needing a major turnaround to keep their title hopes alive. The match will be broadcast live on NBS Sport TV and the AfroMobile app.
Before kickoff, the Pirates will stage the Sydney Gongondyo Memorial, beginning at midday.
The programme features a panel discussion on mob justice, a fundraiser, and the launch of the “Sydney Is Me, Sydney Yenze” campaign — an initiative aimed at raising awareness against mob violence while commemorating Gongondyo and other victims.
Organisers stress the campaign’s goal of encouraging communities to reject mob action and embrace lawful dispute resolution.
The memorial is expected to draw rugby fraternity members, fans, and the wider public, setting a reflective tone ahead of the semifinal.
With emotions running high, the afternoon promises a blend of remembrance, advocacy, and elite Ugandan rugby as Pirates look to finish the job and Heathens fight to overturn the deficit.
