Diggers B 14 Buffaloes 12

DIGGERS B recorded the biggest upset of the weekend dumping Green Buffaloes out of the 2013 Copperfields sponsored Zambia Rugby Union (ZRU) Knock-Out Cup competition to set an interesting quarter final match against Nkwazi.
Defending champions “Men At Work’ Diggers, Red Arrows and ‘Powerhouse’ Lusaka all easily advanced to the quarter-finals and were joined by surprise package Prisons, who earned a slot by virtue of a walkover after Nchanga failed to make the trip to Kabwe.
Back to the Buffaloes shock loss, Diggers B got their victory thanks to tries from Andrew Santala and Maynard Phiri which the latter converted while Danny Kabila scored a brace of tries but could only manage one conversion. Diggers B faces Nkwazi, who eliminated League A side Green Eagles.

Chibuluma sailed through to the last eight to play Lusaka who thrashed Kitwe Playing Fields (KPF) 28-0. Kenny Bwalya scored three penalties with Kaluba Chipasha placing a try but Bwalya failed the conversion while Mufulira scored two penalties through Maybin Mukosha.
