Rayon Sports thrash rivals Kiyovu 4-0 and pile misery on them.

November 2, 2024

Rayon Sports triumphed over SC Kiyovu in the Rwanda Premier League for the first time since 2019 to hand the Green Baggies a sixth consecutive defeat, deepening their plight in the relegation zone.

The blues ended a five-year winless streak against Kiyovu on Saturday, November 2, thanks to second half four goals at Kigali Pelé Stadium.

Hadji Iraguha started the scoring in the 57th minute with a long-range effort that the Kiyovu goalkeeper should have handled better.

Iraguha then doubled the lead in the 76th minute, before Fall Ngagne made it three just two minutes later, thanks to a well-placed pass from Kevin Muhire.

Substitute Adabama Bagayoko, who assisted Iraguha’s first goal, sealed the win with a powerful strike in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

This win is Rayon Sports’ fourth in a row, moving them to second place in the league with 14 points, just one point behind the leaders, Police, who have played one more game.

Meanwhile, Kiyovu’s losing streak has reached 6 matches, placing them at the bottom of the table with 3 points in 7 matches.

This isn’t the first time Rayon Sports has brought hardship to Kiyovu; the blues beat Kiyovu 2-1 in 2017 at Mumena on the final matchday of the league, resulting in Kiyovu’s relegation.

They didn’t relegate as Intare FA, which was supposed to be promoted to the first division, opted for development and stayed in the second division, allowing Kiyovu to keep their spot in the top flight league.

The Rwanda Energy Group team lost to Egypt’s Al Ahly, 93-68, in the final of the 2024 FIBA Women’s Basketball League Africa Qualifiers ( WBLA Zone V).

On November 2, REG lost their second consecutive Zone V final, but they still secured a place in Africa’s prestigious club women’s competition.

The 2024 champions of Rwanda, REG, had an unbeaten streak leading up to the final, where they faced the reigning Egyptian champion, Al Ahly.

The championship match at Amaan Indoor Sports Hall in Zanzibar was tightly contested in the first three quarters, 22-21, 17-17, and 25-22, leaving REG just four points behind.

However, in the final quarter, Nadine Mohamed Sayed Soliman Mohamed, the 2021 Afrobasket top scorer, along with experienced Raneem Elgedawy, took control of the game. They significantly outscored REG while limiting them to just eight points.

Al Ahly’s 29 points in the final quarter led to a decisive 93-68 victory. Sayed and Elgedawy, both named to the tournament’s best five, contributed 43 points to Al Ahly’s total. Sayed scored 23 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and provided 3 assists, while Elgedawy recorded a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

REG’s scoring largely depended on three players: Destiney Philoxy, Morgan King, and Victoria Reynolds, who collectively scored 64 points, making up 94.1% of the team’s total.

DP and Raneem battled for possession of the ball in the WBLA Zone V final.

DP had a game-high 25 points, King contributed 21, and Reynolds added 18, and it’s clear that a team can’t succeed relying solely on three scorers.

This defeat marks REG’s first loss under coach Julian Martinez since he took over in September 2024.

Meanwhile, APR, also representing Rwanda, secured third place, with Italee Lucas earning a top scorer award and a spot in the tournament’s best five.

Both Al Ahly and REG Women BBC will represent Zone V at the 2024 WBLA in Dakar.

Last season, Alexandria Sporting Club from Egypt won the title, while REG finished fourth.

Victoria Reynolds’ near triple-double powered REG to a win over APR and secure a spot in the 2024 WBLA.

Victoria Reynolds scored 26 points, dished out 10 assists, and grabbed 8 rebounds, leading REG Women BBC to an 82-77 victory over APR in the Zone V competition and book a place in the 2024 FIBA Women’s Basketball League Africa.

On November 1, at the Amaan Indoor Sports Hall in Zanzibar, the Rwandan teams vied for a spot in the 2024 FIBA WBLA, and REG BBC triumphed once more, thanks to Victoria Reynolds.

Kenyan international Victoria Reynolds led REG to another victory over APR, securing a spot for a prominent women’s club tournament on the continent.

Julian Martinez’s REG controlled the game in the first three quarters, outscoring the army team 19-14, 28-16, and 22-21 to build an 18-point lead before the final quarter.

APR attempted a comeback in the last quarter but fell short, finishing 5 points behind at 77-82.

Victoria Reynolds led the game with 26 points, recorded a game-high 10 assists, and grabbed 8 rebounds, nearly achieving a triple-double.

Kristina Morgan King added a double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds.

APR’s Italee Lucas and Kamba Diakite scored 21 and 18, respectively.

REG’s triumph over APR not only secures their place in the 2024 WBLA but also marks their fifth consecutive win, further solidifying their supremacy over Charles Mushumba’s team.

Since taking over in September, Spanish coach Martinez has kept an unbeaten record, steering REG to the 2024 RBL title in the playoffs and qualifying them for the WBLA with an undefeated streak heading into the zonal final.

REG will face Egypt’s Al Ahly in the championship game on Saturday, November 2, and the 2024 WBLA will be held in Dakar, Senegal, from December 6 to 15, 2024.

On Thursday, October 31, the Rwanda National Football Team (Amavubi) defeated Djibouti 3-0, with Olivier Dushimimana scoring twice to advance to the second round of the CHAN 2025 qualifiers.

He scored his first goal barely 10 minutes in and his second in the 24th minute, both assisted by midfielder Bosco Ruboneka.

Amavubi continued to control possession in the second half, creating several opportunities, but it wasn’t until the final minute of regular time that substitute Arsene Tuyisenge scored to make it 3-0.

With a 3-1 aggregate victory, Rwanda will face the winner of the Kenya vs. South Sudan match in the final round of the 2025 CHAN Qualifiers. South Sudan holds a 2-0 lead as they head into the second leg, scheduled for Sunday, November 3, 2024, at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Kampala.

The Kenya Ports Authority team leveraged Charles Mushumba’s rotations in the second quarter to narrow the gap to just 3 points by halftime, 40-43.

APR asserted control and dominated the third and fourth quarters as Shaina Pellington, Italee Lucas, and Channel Mokango returned to the court. They outscored KPA 26-17 in the third quarter and 27-19 in the fourth to leave them no chance for a comeback.

Kamba Yoro Diakite led all scorers with 27 points, while Italee Lucas scored 22 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists in her black-and-white debut.

East African University Rwanda (EAUR) stunned Gisagara in a thrilling four-set match of Round 2 in the Rwanda Volleyball National League, marking their second consecutive win and raising the stakes for the 2024-25 season.

On Saturday, October 26, EAUR overcame the odds to defeat the 2023 Rwanda Volleyball National League champions, winning the match 3-1.

Despite entering the match as the underdog, the determined EAUR’s ambitions became clear in the first set, hinting that the game would be close.

EAUR claimed the first set 26-24, but Gisagara, led by Yakan Laurence, quickly responded and leveled the match at 1-1 with another nail-biting 27-25 set.

EAUR came back with renewed determination in the third set, clinching it 25-22 thanks to an effective connection between setter Kayiranga and left attacker Jean Paul Nshuti.

The sidelines buzzed with rivalry as volleyball legend Vincent Dusabimana ‘Gasongo’ squared off against his former national teammate and captain, Yakan Guma Laurence.
Gisagara fought hard to regain their pride, winning the fourth set by any means necessary, but EAUR remained resolute.

Libero Jules Niyigena made important sprawl and dive saves against powerful spikes from Malinga and Niyogisubizo to keep EAUR in the game.

Again, the set was quite close, but EAUR came out on top, 25-23 and Vincent Dusabimana’s volleyball coaching career took a significant step forward following this hard fought win.

This is a notable first victory for EAUR in their second year. Following a 3-1 victory against RP Ngoma College, with this remarkable win over Gisagara, the Remera-based university has established itself in the league and makes the competition for playoff slots quite intense.

EAUR is currently in second place, trailing the top-ranked Police VC, who maintained their lead after a commendable 3-0 victory over the defending champions APR on Friday night.

The Rwanda Volleyball National league action continues this Sunday at Petit Stade, with KVC set to face Kepler at 4 PM.
