She Cranes have a bright future – Head Coach Fred Mugerwa

The Uganda Netball Team missed out on a Vitality Netball Nations Cup Bronze medal over the weekend after losing to giants New Zealand 62-57.

The narrow five-goal defeat to the World’s number two, the second against the same side within days left Head Coach Fred Mugerwa a contended man.

“The future is bright. All we need is to have them train more as a unit and have more friendly games before we go for another international tournament.”

He added that the United Kingdom trip was a success despite picking fewer wins than planned. Uganda lost to Wales in their 2-1 test series victory.

With the girls facing four teams, three above them and one below in the World Rankings, the three weeks of competitive action was a well-thought-out project.

By press time, the team was aboard back to the Pearl of Africa with their heads up ready for the Netball Super League dates and fixtures announcement.
