Jinja Hippos pay the price for compalency as Heathens date Kobs in semis
&format=webp)
Jinja Hippos will leave to regret their complacent performance against city rivals Walukuba in the group stages if they fail to defend their Nile Special Sevens title by a tight margin.
The hosts of the Stone City Sevens started well on Saturday by thumping Kyambogo 29-0, but that was their best result in the leg.
The holders then bumped on Walukuba, who stunned them 10-7 in the second Group A game before salvaging their pride by overcoming Plascon Mongers 12-7.
However, Walukuba’s perfect record in the group pushed Hippos to second on the table and threw them in Kobs’ path.
