The ongoing
"Friends of Rugby" organised Lagos Rugby Union League matches comes
up on Saturday 26 May 2012 at the main bowl of the National Stadium, Lagos from
12 noon to 6pm with three matches on the cards.
My Take: I
think Cowrie will successfully defend the title this year if they improve on
last season’s performance.
And I hope
debutant - Ilorin Rugby club will not end up being a training material for all
the other teams. What were they doing losing to such a high margin?, well they played against the defending champion, Cowrie RFC.
Anyways, did
I say that Cowrie RFC was in South Africa for winning the league last season? well, that story is for another day.
