The 2024 Nile Special 7s Series climaxes this weekend after seven rounds. While Platinum Credit Heathens is the most successful rugby club in the competition’s history with eleven titles, their last came over a decade ago in 2013.

They fell short, agonizingly, in the last two editions – to Jinja Hippos at Kyadondo in 2022 and to Black Pirates at Bugembe in 2023. Both times, on Day Two in the final round of the series. But this time, eleven years since their last 7s series title, Heathens are in control of their own destiny.

Let’s rewind to the 2013 National 7s Series. To revisit how the series went, how it ended, and name those who were part of Heathens’ victorious team.

The 2013 national 7s series was played over the four weekends of September. Back then, URU still played one-day events. Legends Rugby Grounds, The Graveyard in Makerere, Kyadondo Rugby Club, and Mbarara University of Science & Technology (MUST) main campus in Mbarara hosted the four rounds.

Mutoni Warriors, Toyota Buffaloes, and MTN Heathens (2) won the Main Cups. Heathens won the overall series with 86 points, followed by Buffaloes (68) and Rams (56). They were crowned champions on a drizzly evening at MUST in Mbarara.
