Uganda tacklers stand out
Pirates Rugby hailed Davis Shimwa (18 tackles), Isaac Massanganzira (17) and Charles Osgood (17) as top tacklers in the Enterprise Cup, even dubbing their captain the team’s “Minister of Defense” on X (x.com).
Stanbic Black Pirates are set to meet Nondescripts RFC in the Enterprise Cup semifinals, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026. (mozzartsport.co.ke) The Pirates reached that stage by edging KCB Rugby 11–10 at Muteesa II (Wankulukuku) in a cross‑border quarterfinal played on March 21, 2026. (nbssport.co.ug) William Nkore opened the scoring with two penalties to give Pirates a 6–0 halftime lead, the home side later added a try to move clear, and KCB’s Mike Wekesa scored late only for the conversion to be missed, leaving the final margin a single point. (nbssport.co.ug) Isaac Massanganzira captained the Pirates in the quarterfinal and was highlighted by local match reports as a leading figure in the team’s defensive work on the day. (scrummage.co.ke) Davis Shimwa, who joined Pirates from Rhinos and has been used in the club’s midfield/centre rotation this season, has also featured for Uganda in sevens competitions in recent years. (monitor.co.ug) With that win the Pirates are the only Ugandan club remaining in the 2026 Enterprise Cup semifinals, joining Kabras Sugar, Menengai Oilers and Nondescripts as the last four.
