Kampala – In a show of renewed unity and commitment, Netball Uganda treated the national netball team, the She Cranes, to a luncheon at Luwombo Restaurant in Lugogo, seeking to rebuild trust and motivate players ahead of their international assignments.
The high-level meeting brought together federation executives, including Honorary General Secretary Aminah Mande and Vice President Technical Richard Muhumuza, who assured the players that their long-standing concerns were being addressed. Among them was the promise to clear outstanding allowances once funds are secured, a lingering issue that has strained relations in the past.
With the Celtic Cup set for November 26–30 at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, Scotland, the She Cranes are entering a crucial phase of preparation. The squad will also fly to Malawi in December for the Africa Netball Championship, making back-to-back competitions a true test of endurance and depth.
To ensure readiness, the players will undergo medical assessments before beginning non-residential training next week, after which the final squad will be unveiled.
Federation leaders challenged the She Cranes to deliver consistent performances that can strengthen Uganda’s bargaining power with both the government and the National Council of Sports, stressing that international success translates into national visibility and support.
The upcoming Celtic Cup promises a thrilling contest, featuring six teams: hosts Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and invitational sides Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. For the She Cranes, it is not just a tournament, it is a stage to prove resilience, unity, and ambition.
