The Black Pirates, another title favourite, continued their winning ways with a solid 26-10 win over the Lifeguard Rams. Though not as explosive as their round-one performance, the victory demonstrated their ability to grind out a result against a determined side. The Hippos also joined the high-scoring party, running in 78 unanswered points against the Mbale Elephants.

Completing the round of away victories, the Toyota Buffaloes secured a 17-0 win over the Kakira Simbas, while the Rhinos, and Kigezi Silverbacks marched against the Gulu City Falcons  and Walukuba Barbarians in walk-over wins respectively..
