Uganda Lady Cranes Soar into HSBC Sevens Debut

BY GRACE LINDSAY MBABAZI

Amidst the radiant buzz of Dubai, the Uganda Lady Cranes marked their debut in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series. The thrill and challenge unfolded on Day One, as they faced a formidable lineup. The opening encounter against Belgium proved intense, with a narrow 7-5 defeat. Sandra Lona’s brilliant try added a glimmer to the closely contested match.
The day’s final clash against Thailand brought a spirited effort from Uganda. Despite a 19-7 loss, Captain Peace Lekuru showcased her prowess by securing Uganda’s lone try, along with a successful conversion. As the sun set on Day One, Head Coach Peter Onen reflected on the team’s performance, acknowledging the steep learning curve and impressive strides made, even in the face of two losses.
Coach Onen remarked,
“In our inaugural tournament, the girls are undergoing a steep learning curve. The first half was challenging; we faced numerous attempts and mishandled ball contacts. Penalties went against us. Yet, the second half displayed notable improvement dominance prevailed. The girls recognize the challenges and, as we review day one, we’ll pinpoint areas for enhancement. Despite the toughness, I’m impressed by their efforts. In this debut, we’ve shown considerable growth.”
