- Warriors vs. Heathens – 2:30 pm, Legends
After a perfect start to the season last year during which they went six games unbeaten, reality has started to check in for Warriors.
Two losses in two games is Warriors record this year. Defeat to Pirates and Kobs has seen a side that topped the league early in the season regress to fourth place.
And it will only get tougher when they battle leaders Heathens who are yet to lose a game this afternoon at Legends.
Coach Kevin Makmot will be aware that to get anything from the game, his charges will need level heads having accumulated three yellow cards during the game against Kobs – leading to a heavy loss last weekend despite playing good defense for long spells.
Meanwhile, Heathens go into the fixture aware of the pressure from Uganda Cup winners Kobs who are just two points behind.
Anything short of victory will give their rivals an opportunity to go top, given they will be playing against a relatively easier opponent in Rhinos.
