She Cranes team start Africa Championship preps


The Uganda Netball team, She Cranes, will be looking to seal a 3-peat when the African Netball Championship gets underway in a month's time in South Africa.

Uganda's preparations started with the announcement of Rashid Mubiru as replacement for Vincent Kiwanuka in the head coach role.

Mubiru, who was in charge of the She Cranes at the 2015 World Cup and won the World University Championship with the Mighty Cranes, is yet again in driving seat.

The African championship will bring together the top eight countries on the continent from October 16-23.

Hosts South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe will be the other countries fighting to dethrone Uganda.

The Uganda Netball Federation named a squad of 22 players to start preparations.

The squad has three standout omissions in Mahayimina Namuwaya, Sylvia Nanyonga and Lilian Ajio.

The trio have been a big part of the team's success and were in Liverpool for the recently concluded Netball World Cup.

Privas Kaye and Tausi Mumena are the new faces in the setup while Nusurah Sebi Betty Namukasa return to the national team fold having missed the world cup.

South Africa and Malawi will present the biggest threat to Uganda's throne.
