HUYE – Intwari football club dominated the twoday testimonial tournament organised in honour of Jean de la Croix Nkurayija, the club’s president.
Intwari trounced visiting Abawigeze from Burundi 2-0 in the final game that was played at Huye stadium.
Participating clubs include; Intwari, Solidarity Fc, National University of Rwanda’s Alumni ’95 and the National Bank of Rwanda which was thrown out of the tournament for fielding an under-age player.
