With three out of six circuits of the Guinness 7s played, Kobs lead the table with 66 points, 11 ahead of second placed Black Pirates and 13 ahead of third placed Heathens.
Kobs are also unbeaten in all the stages of the circuits of the series, subjecting everyone to a bridesmaids role as they continue to Shine Brightest in each and every outing.
According to Kobs Captain Joseph Aredo, his side’s dominance in the series is no coincidence for their executions are well planned and everyone in the team knows their task.
“We worked on our set pieces, we worked on our kickoffs, line outs and the scrums,” Aredo said after the previous circuit held in Soroti City adding that; “kickoff is our winning formula and we shall stick to it.”
Kobs Captain Joseph Aredo hoists the MVP gong during the opening circuit of the series held in KampalaKobs beat Heathens 14-00 in the finals of the previous circuit held in Soroti. Earlier on, they had beaten Black Pirates in the finals of two straight circuits held in Kampala and Gulu respectively.
Albeit their dominance, Aredo says that Kobs’ rivals especially in the finals have been good hence it’s to early to celebrate.
“I don’t believe we have done enough to win the series yet, anything can happen. So, we’re going to play our best in the remaining circuits,” Aredo said adding that first time tackles and proper game management is key if they’re to have an easy time in the remaining circuits.
