Cosmos Buffalos stands tall in GRCC

Cosmos Buffalos defeated Accra Sharks by 62 points to 10 to sit comfortably at the summit of the league log as the first round of the Ghana Rugby Club Championship (GRCC) came to an end at the Accra Rugby pitch, Legon.

Accra Sharks RFC, in the early stage of the game proved a tougher side scoring two tries, but they could not hold their opponent.

The Buffalos won the game comfortably to further increase their lead on the table before the break.

Coach Amuzolouh of Cosmos Buffaloes, after the match said that "We are very excited for this win and this clearly shows how eager we are to win the first Rugby league championship under the new leadership."

In another thrilling encounter, Legon Titans battled it out with Idas Sports. Both teams had lost one game prior to kick off, incidentally to the log leaders Cosmos Buffaloes, and were both looking to secure the second position to put them in contention for the title.

Legon Titans scored the first try from Emmanuel Kalos, after a superb work of brilliant passing between himself and Prince Segbefia but Idas came back strong and scored a try to level out the scores.

The game proceeded with both teams clearly showing intent, but Idas Sports further increased their scoring when the full back of Legon Titans, mistimed a free ball coming his direction, allowing Abdul Samad, who was lurking right behind him, to intercept and score a try.

From recess, Legon Titans came back strong to score a few more tries to level out the points but it was experience that reigned as Idas Sports had the last laugh, when Marshall Nortey, the captain of Legon Titans, failed to convert a kick that would have enabled his side win the game in the dying minutes. The game ended 17 to 18 points in favour of Idas Sports enabling them to secure the second spot.

The final game of the day was between Tema Anchors and Dansoman Hurricanes, who have inevitably found their winning form back, winning their second game of the season. They beat the Anchors comfortably by 69 points to 7.
