Uganda National Sevens Series table has shifted again after the Entebbe 7s at the Sai-Pali Institute in Kawuku, Entebbe over the weekend.
Heathens bounced back from a tough Gulu outing to beat Toyota Buffaloes 17–07 in Sunday’s men’s final, while Nile Rapids took the women’s title.
Those results lock in a remarkably even season so far three legs, three different winners in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
As things stand, Buffaloes still lead the men’s race on 58 points, two ahead of Walukuba Barbarians (56).
The pair have been the model of consistency reaching the semifinals at all three stops while Heathens’ maximum haul in Kawuku has lifted the defending champions to third on 49.
