The Women’s Rugby League defending champions Black Pearl have sent out a statement on their readiness to defend the Women’s Rugby premiership title this weekend as they visit Avengers in Entebbe, Busambaga.
On the other hand the host Avengers have promised inflicting pain in an open letter to the King’s park based Black pearls that this year’s league title inscription reads Avengers as Champions. The hosts finished second in the Women’s Premiership League last year.
“With the preparations we have had as a team, the gel and bonding we are ready for any team that comes our way. We are coming in strong to defend our title and key for us will be team work” Emily Lekuru revealed on behalf of Black Pearls.
The Rams female side Ewes will host Thunderbirds at Legends away from home. “We are giving in our best this time round, most girls have picked the game experience over the two three years so other teams should not perceive us as amateurs, we shall give them a run for their money” Ewes skipper Juliet Ainomugisha charged.
Thunderbirds who completed third on the log last Season releasing the league title for the first time ain’t seated. Yvonne Najjuma the Thunderbirds captain has made it clear they are back. “The League is only interesting when you have different teams break the dominence. We are back in this competition, come rain come sunshine. We are ready to play, the grace period for all this noise is done and dusted”.
