PRISONS 0 ARROWS 82
CHAMPIONS Red Arrows on Saturday gave demoted Prisons a humiliating send-off to the lower division in a National Rugby League rescheduled Week 12 match in Kabwe.
Unbeaten Arrows posted 12 tries and eight conversions.

Arrows coach Mwamba Chishimba lauded his charges for the resounding victory.
“We used most of the players that did not have enough game time. They played very well as they had hunger to do the team proud. We just want to thank our sponsors and the executive committee for their support.
“They gave us all the support in good and bad times,” Chishimba said.
