Platinum Credit Heathens captain Michael Wokorach says winning the ForteBet Real Stars sports monthly award for best rugby player of April is motivation for him going into the rest of the season.
The veteran forward saw off competition from Black Pearls winger Emily Lekuru and Jinja Hippos fullback Yasin Wasswa to clinch the award at a ceremony held on Tuesday 7th May in Kampala.
Having guided Heathens to the Nile Special rRugby Championship semifinals where they face KCB KOBs this weekend, Wokorach has been a key player for the Mohammad Ahio coached side leading the pack and contributing crucial tries.
It’s against this background that the club captain was voted the best rugby player of the month and he says it’s motivation at this point of the season.
“I was one of the first ForteBet award winners in 2018 and winning it again is an honor. I have put in the hard shift and it will give me the zeal to keep competing,” he said.
KCCA FC striker Muhammad Shaban won the football gong seeing off Makerere Ladies team’s Sharon Namatovu and Kitara’s Paul Mucureezi.
19-year-old superlight boxer Farahat Manirola won the boxing award having defeated DR Congo’s Gael Assuman by knockout last month.
The ForteBet Real Stars sports monthly awards are aimed at rewarding outstanding sportsmen across various sports.
