Posted by: Eninu William in Netball January 13, 2024

In a show of sheer dominion, Uganda’s national netball team, the She Cranes, beat Wales 64-40 in their second match of the Test Series. This was at the House of Sports in Cardiff on Friday.

In picking the victory, the She Cranes were revenging their Wednesday 57-45 defeat to the same opponent in the first match of the Series.

Led by a more effective Mary Nuba Cholhok, who had a quiet evening on Wednesday, the She Cranes got through the blocks early and took a 30-24 lead at halftime. Minutes into the third quarter, the Ugandan side opened a 40-27 lead.

This later extended into a massive 19-goal gap as they led 49-30 heading into the final quarter. They then killed it off in the final quarter with 15-10 goals, which made it a 24-goal gap by full-time.

Currently tied 1-1, the two nations will face-off again in the final match of the Test Series on Saturday. The She Cranes will then embark on the much more challenging Vitality Netball Nations Cup in England.

The Nations Cup will have heavyweights England, New Zealand and Australia.

It should be noted that the She Cranes coach, Fred Mugerwa compalined about the unfair umpiring in the first match against Wales.“Someone (umpire) blows the whistle on things that didn’t happen. Some fouls were being manufactured by the umpires,” Mugerwa compalined.

“But generally, we also played badly, and I think we have to rectify in the remaining two matches.” he added.

The Friday match saw the She Cranes play against the same opponents, thrashing them 60-40.
