The Uganda rugby cranes beat Kenya 19-5 in the opening leg of the Elgon cup played at Uganda’s Kyadondo grounds on Saturday April 21.<\/p>\n

The defeat was to be expected. Uganda took no chances in their preparation. They had been training as a unit for almost a month. Clearly they are determined to wrest the title they have lost to Kenya for 5 consecutive years.<\/p>\n

Kenya on the other hand showed their lack of seriousness by naming the squad only 4 days before the encounter.<\/p>\n

Gamewise, Uganda were the better side. Anthony Kinene gave Uganda the lead from a penalty after 9 minutes. Kenya had chances to get back in the game but Kenny Andola and Eden Agero missed penalties in the final 10 minutes before Kinene gave Uganda 6-0 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

Early in the second half, winger Bishop Onen ran clear and released Romano Ogwal for the first try of the game.. Anthony Kinene added a penalty and Uganda were up 14-0.<\/p>\n

Kenya started to come back into the game and the pressure yeileded a try via Lawrence Buyachi. Justin Kimono rounded up the score with a long range try.<\/p>\n
