Defending Champions Nile Rapids delivered a commanding performance over the weekend, securing a well deserved victory that once again underlined their growing stature in Ugandan rugby. From the first whistle, Rapids played with intent, tight structures, disciplined defence, and quick ball movement that kept their opponents chasing shadows.

Their forwards dominated the collisions, setting a solid platform for the backs to express themselves with fluid running rugby.

A pair of early tries settled the nerves, before a late push in the second half from the she wolves kept the fans off their feet ending the game 22-20 in favour of the Nile Rapids.

For the fans in Jinja and across the Eastern region, the win was more than just another result, it was a reminder that the Rapids remain a force, hungry for more success as bigger challenges approach.

With morale high and momentum on their side, the Rapids’ camp will feel confident heading into the new season.
