JUST days after winning the Sharks 7aside contest, national rugby giants Remera Buffaloes have set their sights on next week’s 7-aside tournament.

Last weekend, the national league champions ousted Gorillas 14-7 in the final to continue their impressive winning streak over the last two years.

"We want to continue winning titles which is why we are training hard,” Buffaloes head coach Gerard Nsenga said before adding, "the players also know that this is a build up to the upcoming Hong Kong 10aside event.”

After years playing in the shadow of Lion de Fer and Gorillas, Buffaloes came out of their shells in 2008 to beat Gorillas to the league title.

The Remera-outfit spearheaded by fly-half Lucien Bikamba and center prop Vincent Kamali retained the title last year and look set to do it again this year.
