Pius Ogena's hattrick has him closer to try-scoring record

As Kobs demolished Walukuba Barbarians 50-07 to go top of the Nile Special Rugby Premier League table, Pius Ogena was closing in on a league try-scoring record.

The eighth man scored a hattrick of tries to help Kobs register a bonus-point win to move to 66 points on the log with three games left to play.

At an individual level, though, Ogena will enter the history books if he scores three or more tries in the remaining three games.

His hattrick took him to 19 tries for the season, and he is now three away from joining teammate Justin Kimono and Kobs' legend Allan Musoke on the table of players with the most tries in a single season.

Musoke scored 22 tries in the 2009 season, while Kimono recorded the same number in 2014.

Ogena can equal that number or even go on to set a new league record.

Beyond breaking the record, Ogena will be hoping to guide the Blue Army to the top prize.

The title race is now squarely between Kobs and Pirates, and the former will be hoping Ogena stays in his element for the remainder of the season.

Kobs will host Pirates on the last day of the season in a game projected to be the decider of who wins the title.
