The ongoing
“Friends of Rugby” competition organised 2010 Lagos Rugby Union League
continues tomorrow at the sports pitch of the National Institute of
Sports within the National Stadium in Lagos from 12noon to 6pm.

With defending
champions, Cowrie emerging winners with two matches to go – they have
an unassailable lead of 46 points – the battle for second place is
going to be a fight to finish between Addax Rugby Club and Lagos Rugby
Club.

“The battle for the
2nd slot is heating up as the first position has already been
determined in the last match results. The third placed Lagos RFC will
tackle Addax RFC, which is in second position in the third game of the
day, which starts by 4pm.

“This star match is
expected to determine who truly claims the second position on the 2010
Rugby League table,” said Ntiense Williams.

In the first match
of the day, which comes up by 12 noon Cowrie RFC face Eco II RFC, while
Young Lions RFC will battle a highly motivated Police Machine Rugby
team in the second match of the day fixed for 2pm. Police Machine won
their first match of the 2010 Rugby League two weeks ago against Eco II
RFC.

The win lifted them
to 5th position with 9 points, while Young Lions RFC dropped to 6th
position with just 5 points in their kitty. All of these teams will be
hoping to take advantage of the last two matches to better their
chances on the league table.

scoring a total of 65 points. Thus making him the highest point scorer
in the league. He has also scored four tries. Yahaya Samson of Police
Machine RFC is second highest point scorer with 41 points and has
scored four tries. Sulaiman Oyebola of Addax RFC is third with 38
