Apart from Brian Gwaka\u2019s 86 strokes in 24 gates, one behind Muwanguzi that interrupted a 1-2 finish, Robert Mutiibwa ensured that two podium places belonged to Eminents in the men\u2019s singles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very tricky especially that we were playing teams that have been training for some weeks,\u201d said Muwanguzi, who was second in the same tournament last year \u2013 which was the last event before the Covid-19 lockdown.In the women singles, Christine Birungi gave Mukoova a tough chase but she was one shot behind the veteran on 95 strokes over 24 fairways. Joyce Nalubega gave Eminents the second place on the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Combining the top four performers for team performance, Eminents lifted the women\u2019s trophy with 422 strokes while Ndejje A came second with 436. Makerere University Business School took the other podium place with a combined 462 strokes. Ndejje University were the men\u2019s winners followed by Eminents.But Collins Ssemmanda, the Uganda Woodball Federation (UWbF) general secretary, was frustrated as some teams did not observe the standard operating procedures in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our responsibility as sports administrators to ensure that our events do not lead to the spread of Covid-19.
