The Pirates forward Ayera made an impact in the second leg of the Nile 7s and clinched the MVP after leading the team to a narrow 07-05 win over Heathens in a rather contestable match at the Busamaga Grounds.

“We are back to our winning ways and am happy to celebrate this development coming from eighth to first all we can say is Thanks be to God,” he expressed.
“Last Season I was knocked out in the first match and it feels happy to be playing again this season and now am in the second leg, Glory be to Jesus,” he emphasized.
