The second day of the Rugby 15 Dynamic Tournament season that took place on March 15 in Yaoundé, Ebolowa, and Douala, have recorded resounding success, with clubs delivering electrifying performances across various pitches. Organized by the renowned Essono Rugby Group, the event showcased high-quality rugby and fierce competition.
At the College Stoll of Akono playground, AS Massoda Rugby faced off against Bagangte Rugby Club in a highly anticipated match. Joseph Nde, representing the Technical Director, expressed his satisfaction with the day’s events.
“We are thrilled with the quality of play witnessed this afternoon. The players demonstrated exceptional skill, executing scintillating technical moves and showcasing excellent ball deployment on the pitch.

Despite a spirited effort, AS Massoda fell short against the experienced Bagangte Rugby Club, which leveraged its attacking prowess to secure a 29-12 victory. AS Massoda’s coach, Luc Desire Awana Nkono, attributed the loss to youthful errors rather than a lack of preparation.

In Douala, the Military Engineering Stadium hosted a series of intense matches. In the women’s category, Wouri RC dominated the Eagles of Yaoundé with a commanding 24-05 victory. Meanwhile, in the men’s category, Titan Dla struggled to make an impact, falling to Abeilles Etoudi by 33-10.
The South region also witnessed thrilling action as rugby enthusiasts were treated to a sensational clash between Gorille d’Ebolowa and RC Lions. Capitalizing on their opponents’ mistakes, RC Lions emerged victorious with a 25-16 scoreline.

With the guidance of our coach, we are confident of achieving even greater success in the upcoming games.”
