Uganda’s
junior and youth women’s teams made it a double success in Zanzibar, winning
the 2019 IHF Women’s Trophy Africa - Zone V tournaments, with victories in
their respective finals yesterday.
Hosts
Tanzania (TAN), Burundi (BDI), Djibouti (DJI), Ethiopia (ETH), Kenya (KEN),
Rwanda (RWA), and Sudan (SUD) had all been competing with Uganda (UGA) in the
junior and youth competitions since Tuesday (12 March) for a place in the
continental finals to be held later this year.
Yesterday,
Uganda’s youth side overcame Ethiopia easily in the final, 30:17, having led by
11 at the break (15:4). Rwanda finished in third, having lost to the Ugandans
in their semi-final on Saturday, 37:15.
Following
the youth title, the Ugandan junior women then made it a double, beating Kenya
in a well-fought match, separated by just one goal (14:13) at the break in
favour of the eventual winners who eventually managed to open up a second-half
lead to take the honours 30:24.
Rwanda
also finished third in the older age group after losing to the champions in the
final four, 31:10, but were able to reset and come back to beat Burundi 26:9 in
a dominant bronze-medal performance in Migombani.
