“There were times that we cited poor officiating when we had clear chances to score, but we can only hope for the best in the future,”Olago said, adding: “We were patient and I loved the way we carried the ball on their 22 yard, you could see the urge and dedication we have put in, and the way we tried different player’s combinations, and that will be key to our success this season.”

Former champions Kabras Sugar and Homeboyz RFC come in third and fourth respectively, tied on same points but trail on try difference after both teams won their crucial ties.
