Warriaz Edge Rival Oneonta 3-2

Warriaz Lacrosse got some sweet revenge over rivals Oneonta Lacrosse beating the ‘Ones’ 3-2 in the evening’s game at MUBS grounds, Nakawa. Midfielder, Ryan Mugisa got 2 goals for the losing side, Oneonta.

Warriaz began their surge on goal with 2 goals apiece from Vanjo Kaviiri and Phillip Ssebunya in the 1^st quarter. Warriaz attackman, Wodero Oscar, added a third goal for his team mid -2^nd quarter to put Warriaz 3-0 clear.

After the halftime break, Oneonta’s relentless attacks yielded 2 goals from midfielder Ryan Mugisa in the 3^rd and early 4^th quarter to get back into the contest. However a comeback was not to be as this tightly contested game was brought to completion by the referee.
