Heathens will capture the Sevens circuit with one leg to spare even if they simply make the quarter-finals.
"It's almost a done deal. We just need a few points to win the title but we are going for a win as usual. I don't want to rule out Kobs and Pirates, they are still strong teams. We hope we can maintain the form and keep on the roll," Heathens captain Brian Tabaruka stated.
Heathens who hope to add the Sevens circuit title to the Uganda Cup, Super 8 League and Hima Makerere 10 will be left with only the inaugural Super Cup to complete a 100% clean sweep of the 2009 rugby season. The Kyadondo will face G4S pirates in the Super Cup in Entebbe next week.
