The Stanbic Black Pirates and the Black Pearls have this evening been crowned champions of the Kitgum 7s edition.
The Black Pirates made easy work of the Jinja Hippos in the final to win 24-00. Tries to Mubarak Wandera, Sidney Gongodyo, Timothy Kisiga and Arnold Atukunda sealed the deal.
A finals appearance as an immediate response from the Hippos is what their fans wanted given how they exited the Stone City 7s last week which they hosted.
The Black Pearls were 21-05 winners over the Thunderbirds in a perfect revenge mission to win the Kitgum 7s, a response to their unexpected knockout absence in the Stone City 7s just last weekend.
The KOBs got the better of the much-changed Heathens, again, winning 24-14 in the third place playoff having lost their semifinal games to Hippos and Pirates respectively.
