Playmaker Jones Kamiza, forward Allan Karuhanga and winger Mark Lagat are among the players selected to represent Uganda at the tournament, scheduled for September 2 to 7 at the Coetzenburg campus in Stellenbosch.

The title takes UCU back to the summit of Ugandan women’s basketball and extends their record to nine National Basketball League championships.

In a tense National Basketball League clash at Lugogo on May 2nd, the KCCA Leopards narrowly defeated the UCU Lady Canons 63–61, sealing the win in the final minutes of a contest that was tight from tip-off to buzzer.

The win is a motivation for everyone on the team, a push that creates more confidence for the ladies to believe they can competitively face any team. Before we played KCCA, they were unbeaten too, so this was a determinant win—especially against such an opponent,” she added.

The hosts took an early lead in the 7th minute after capitalising on a misplaced pass from UCU’s Jane Nantongo, allowing the She Kasese attackers to combine neatly for the opening goal.
