Rugby Cranes battered in Elgon Cup loss to Kenya

The Kenya Simbas silenced the Ugandan crowd at the Kings Park Arena to win the second leg of the annual Elgon Cup 21-5 and take the ultimate prize with a 48-30 aggregate score.

Having gone into the second leg with a slim two-point lead following last Saturday’s 27-25 victory in Nairobi, the Simbas got the perfect start in Kampala to stretch their advantage.

From kickoff, Kenya pinned Uganda into their 22-meter territory and had Ephraim Oduor going over for the game’s opening try. Timothy Omela added the extras and the visitor stretched their advantage to nine points.
