The record five-time national handball league champions, Police thrashed University of Rwanda-College of Arts and Social Science (UR-CASS) 47-10 on Saturday to continue to lead the table.
Emmanuel Kabange scored the match high eight goals while Jean Baptiste Habimana and Fils Haruna Bizimana netted six goals each to guide the law enforcers to their third consecutive win with six maximum points.
It was the third day of the league season as Police look to correct last season's mistakes when they lost the league trophy to usual challenger, APR on the final day.
"We have done it before and we can even do it now to finish the season unbeaten; you can says that it's still early with just three games played and seventeen matches to play, but that's our focus," said Senior Sgt. Dismas Turatsinze, Police coach, said.
The international handball federation revised some of its rules with a win now going for two points from three points previously. A draw attracts a single point and the same goes for the loser, who also gets one point.
Police beat College de Gisenyi 47-34 and and College ADEGI 42-34 on day one and day two, respectively. The two teams also have five points each while APR, who have a game to play complete the list of the top four on the table, so far.
The law enforcers won the 2014 and 2015 unbeaten and went on to win at least seven local tournaments played in the same periods. Police have so far won one trophy-- Heroes Day Cup-- this season.
