KAMPALA. Pirates and Kobs continued with their high scoring form against Gulu and Impis respectively in the Nile Special Premiership on Saturday in Makerere.
Pirates hardly broke sweat as they mauled Gulu 45-9. A hat-trick of tries from the league’s best player at the moment, Ivan Magomu, led them to victory. Other tries came fromDennis Etuket, Musa Muwonge and Jude Kirya.“We did not have the best of starts but once we got going, we were impeccable,” Pirates captain Mathew Egeru told Daily Monitor.
“We have to focus on our next game, which is against Buffaloes and it’s a tough one,” he added.
Ramathan Govule was the star attraction as Kobs ran riot against Impis. The centre scored twice and broke the line for fun on numerous occasions. Impis had their own share of fortune as they put 21 points past Kobs, something hardly heard of.
