Victoria University Sharks Feast on Warriors!  34-9 in Rugby Showdown

Victoria University’s rugby team, the Victoria Sharks, delivered a commanding 34-9 victory over the Warriors in an away fixture at Legends Grounds, Lugogo. This was the fourth game of the season, and despite initial challenges, the Sharks dominated the second half with ease.

The Head of Sports at Victoria University Uganda, Mr. Ssebuliba Patrick, praised the team’s performance, highlighting their resilience despite facing strong resistance from the Warriors in the first half. However, he also noted that a few players sustained injuries due to the intense physicality of the game.

Team captain Paul Epillo expressed confidence in their progress, stating that the Sharks remain on course to break into the top five teams and are determined to maintain their winning momentum. He also emphasized that coming into this game, their goal was to secure a bonus point, which they achieved thanks to strong teamwork.

Although the second half was much easier, Epillo admitted that playing on a non-familiar pitch affected their scoring opportunities in the first half.

The Victoria Sharks now shift their focus to their next match against the Kobs on Saturday. They await the outcome of that game, which will determine their standing in the league as they continue their push for a top five finish
