Rams penalty taker ,Hossana’s absence was felt when the medical based team failed yet again to register maiden win of the season against the Land Lords Impis .
Opeleni is part of the rugby’s sevens team,that was summoned for the preparation along side Ivan Otai of Impis who also missed the game because of the similar reason .
His absence forced Rams to turn their focus on Micheal Kalyango for penalties , however ,their game against Impis , could be a game Kalyango will leave to remember in his life.
Kalyango failed to convert four penalties and one conversion missed by Hassim Kabogozi as the side went down against Impis in a match played at the Makerere University rugby grounds yesterday.
Rams suffered 5-11 to Impis in an intense and pressure Makerere derby ensuring the double wins for the Makerere based side in one season .
Rams took the early dominance when the team got a penalty within the first six minutes but kalyango failed what would be the first three points of the games.
Rams missing the penalty was like a blessing to Impis ,the visitors recovered and got rythm to the game.
And indeed their rythm and pressure forced Rams to award penalty to impis ,which was converted by robert Ssentogo ,making the end of the first half with impis in the lead .
In the commencements of the second round ,rams came determined ,getting three penalties within a gap of ten minutes to take the visitors to nine points ,three above the visitors but all failed to go through.
Minutes later,impis picked up other penalty which took impis to 6points ,minimizing the chances for Rams to get apoint in the game .
In a moment when every Rams fan thought they had lost the game ,Rams made constructive build up and got a try ,which was scored by Kenneth Obitto getting Rams camp in an exciting mood to take team to five points .
With only a conversion needed ,to put the host into the lead , kabagoza failed to let in .
The visitors utilised moments later to concentrate and re- organize themselves which forced Rams to allow in a try from Pius Mpozza for Impis ,taking them to 11points ..
Rams are yet to win a single game of the season while Impis registered the fifth win of the season.
