Referee Of The Year

Being a referee in the game of rugby is not easy. During the week, you’ll have Joseph Maani quoting the rule book to you, and telling you to be careful while handling games for the Impis.

During the game, you’ll have HipposLydia bellowing instructions at you to get your facts right, as well as proving to be the better alternative to TMO.

After the game, you will have halfback-cum-referee Sama Emmanuel break down your incompetences with some good level of English that it will shake you to your core.

Three individuals were served hard and stood their ground – Mayanja Gonzaga, or like his high school crush called him Gonzalo May, Umar Balikanda and Ronald Wutimber.

But, our pick, for the love of satire, is the unshakeable Ronald Wutimber. We all remember that KOBs – Heathens game at Kyadondo, right? What a time!!

Ronald Wutimber

The law book as we know it was re-written that day. Players from both sides were left flabbergasted on that day.

The law was turned inside out, consultations made at RA & WR level and still, nothing of its kind had ever been seen before. Wutimber, what a man!!!

Umar, congratulations upon getting the big games and also making the journey to Safari 7s. The sky is just a step in your ascension. 👏🏽👏🏽
