CHARGING Rhinos secured two crucial points after a breath
taking 57-55 win over Kyambogo Warriors in an MTN league game
played on Sunday at YMCA-Wandegeya.
The first half ended 29-all but Mande Juruni (pictured) converted
a rare three pointer from the half way line to give the 1997
league champions a 44-41 third quarter lead.
Both sides looked for a killer hoop in the last seconds and
Juruni got the important throw from the line for a two points
lead.
