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.
