Map Rugby thrashes LKC

The Maru-a-Pula Senior Boys Rugby team started their season off on a high by beating LKC 15-9. It was the first time in Botswana schools rugby history that the two played each other in a group match, which made the game a spectacle. Earlier this year the team came second in the Jwaneng rugby tournament, hence making them the number one ranked team in Botswana. LKC scored two quick penalties in the first half to give them a lead going into half time. In spite of this, the boys regrouped at half-time, and scored 15 straight points to win the game by a close margin. When interviewed, Prop Collins Churchill responded by saying, “We played as a team in the second half, and the fact that we only had two practices prior to the match is astonishing”. The win sent a message throughout the league that MAP is a force to be reckoned with.
