The Elgon region is no longer dormant, busting with pride as the Elgon Wolves and She-Wolves secured core status for the 2024 National 7s.

The She-Wolves defeated the Kitgum 12-05 in the finale for the ladiesโ€™ qualifiers to secure their spot in next yearโ€™s competition, behind inspiration from exceptional ladies in Namalemba Habiba, Makhonge Dalia, Mukite Shakira and Galenda Blessed.

The She-Wolves join the Black Pearls, Thunderbirds, Avengers and the Nile Rapids.

In the menโ€™s qualifiers, the Elgon Wolves needed a last-minute full score to defeat the stubborn Gulu City Falcons 21-20 and confirm core status.

The Wolves started so well, scoring and converting twice within the first three minutes.

However, the Falcons took control of the game, scoring three tries, a penalty and one conversion to lead 20-14 with less than a minute to spare.

The Wolves dug deep and drove the entire pitch length to score and convert at the death.

The Wolves dispatched Kyambogo in the semis, winning 38-12, while the Gulu City Falcons wrestled it out with the Eagles in the semi, eventually winning 19-17.
