When the Panthers hosted the Mbale Eagles in the Uganda Cup on Saturday at the Legends Rugby Grounds, people went crazy.

Latifa Tiko went through for a try in the first minute of play, and she converted it. The Panthers ended the game with a second converted try, demonstrating that the Mbale Eagles were out of their depth.

As the Mbale Eagles continued to lose players to injury, Tiko's third try for the Panthers, aided by Aminah Nalujja, only made matters worse. Leticia Faustina converted this try, her second successful effort of the first half.

Mastula Namboozo, the Mbale Eagles' captain, was absent from the game and watched from the stands as her team was thrashed. In preparation for the Rugby Africa Women's 7s, she is presently at the Lady Cranes 7s training camp.

A try from Brenda Kayiyi gave the Panthers more momentum in the first half, and Nalujja missed the conversion attempt. The Naguru team trounced the Mbale Eagles, winning the first half 31-00, demonstrating their superior size and expertise.

Due to injuries and a yellow card, the Mbale Eagles were reduced to fewer than 12 players, which caused the game to conclude prematurely in the second half.

Nor were the Panthers perfect. Hadijja Namuganga was given a yellow card early in the first half, and as the half came to an end, they managed to avoid a second yellow card to Tiko when the assistant and the centre referee, Sama Emmanuel, conferred.

Tiko was not so fortunate at the start of the second half; he was sent off for leading with an elbow into contact.

Before the game ended abruptly, the Panthers added another try through Evelyn Angom, which Leticia Faustina converted. For the Panthers, the score was 38-00.

At the former Legends/Kampala Rugby Club on Saturday night, the Toyota Buffaloes and KCB KOBs gave rugby fans what they came for in their round three match of the 2025 Uganda Cup.

It was a slow drag in the first half. While the backs' kicking exchanges revealed their backfield inefficiencies, the packs interfered with each other's set pieces.

Except for young Hussein Shein and seasoned Joseph Aredo, it ended without a penalty.

However, the second half was delicious. Fans stood up in excitement when Shafiq Okole and Douglas Musoke, two substitutes from both technical benches, experimented with the brakes.

Three minutes after the interval, Moses Olweny scored a try after Musoke made a lung-bursting dash from his own 22-meter line. Five minutes later, Shein added a penalty to make the score 11–03.

At the hour mark, the score was 11-06 after Aredo's penalty kick in the 51st minute.

For most of the half, the Buffaloes had the KOBs on the ropes and were ready to win. With Shein's third penalty kick, they took a 14–06 lead.

But with fifteen minutes to go, the Kyadondo team executed a stunning comeback by simply handing their opponents the whip.

Ivan Odhiambo was first given a yellow card for trying to make a tackle from an offside position. And right after, KOBs' first attempt was won thanks to Okole's exceptional genius. Ibrahim Khemis made an easy conversion to reduce the score to one point.

Then, for a risky tackle, Joseph Teko was also given a yellow. For a 16–14 comeback triumph, Khemis delivered the goods off the tee once more, and KOBs made the two-man edge count.

In other outcomes that day, Kyambogo defeated Tyrants in Fort Portal by a score of 7:00.

The battle for first place in Pool C is far from over, but if nothing goes wrong, the KOBs and Buffaloes will advance to the knockout stages.
