Not that the former Heathens skipper would care much.<\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_inset_a div ---><\/p>\n<p>His team dug deep to defeat Rhino 24-11 in what has been Heathens&#8217; sturdiest examination thus far. And to think this was neither G4S Pirates nor utl Kobs and it&#8217;s taken 11 games to meet a credible hurdle made Tabaruka even more proud after Heathens employed survival instincts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rhino played a very good game which made it tight for us,&#8221; Tabaruka, who played at fullback in place of the injured Benon Kiiza, said.<\/p>\n<p>Tries from Presto Tibashobooka, Brian Kikawa, Robert Seguya and Jonathan Bishop Onen must have brought thoughts of organizing a victory party which the coach quashed.<\/p>\n<p>Heathens moved to 55 points, six ahead of Kobs who decimated visiting Nile 49-3 in the early game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is still three games to play and that&#8217;s 15 points to fight for. I am impressed with the spirit from the team that has taken us this close,&#8221; added Tabaruka.<\/p>\n<p>At the Makerere graveyard, hosts Impis succumbed to a 24-8 defeat at the hands of Pirates, who remain third on 43 points.<\/p>\n<p>Pirates&#8217; George Asini, Timothy Dumba, Roland Bahemuka and Kenyan fly-half Hillary Juma, facing his former teammates, shared the tries. Romano Ogwal&#8217;s try and Michael Tamale&#8217;s perfect kick between the posts proved only a consolation for Impis.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Entebbe Mongers beat Toyota Buffaloes 24-15 at Kyadondo RFC.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See original article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201103280024.html\" title=\"Uganda: Heathens Edge Rhino\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uganda: Heathens Edge Rhino<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Ismail D.
