Stanbic Mwamba lifted the 12th edition of the #Prinsloo7s in an electric final under open skies beating Menengai Cream Homeboyz RFC 12-5 after extra time. Mwamba were first to cross the opponents try line as Collins Injera bulldozed his way past two defenders landing their first five points off a scrum in Homeboyz’ 5m mark.
Tony Omondi added the conversion for the 7-0 lead at the breather. Second half kicked off with Mwamba down to six players after Jeremy Chimwani was sent to the sinbin for un-sportsman like behaviour in the last ten seconds of the first half.
Augustine Lugonzo cut through Mwamba’s defense in the second half and he raced from the half pitch mark to land a center post try, Mohammed Omollo adding the extra. Both sides held on to their defense denying the other any try scoring opportunity to the full time.
Into extra time, a scrum was awarded to Mwamba after a Homeboyz knock on. Collins Injera’s short pass landed perfectly in Mike Okello’s hands who’s pace saw him slice right through his defenders to go over for his side’s winning try!
