In fact we do not demand any report from UBA. They always provide accountability and know how to handle their challenges instead of running to social media,\u201d Ogwel said at the team\u2019s welcome luncheon on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The team under the tutelage of Ronald Lule despite not training prior to departure had Tracy Naluwooza winning bronze in the ladies Singles.<\/p>\n<p>She also paired with Fadilah Shamikah to claim another bronze in the ladies doubles while Emuddu Expeditor\/Paul Makande also scooped another medal in the men\u2019s doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Their coach Lule meanwhile expressed satisfaction with their performance with this being the first time the team returned with medals at this level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe performance was good, given the fact that we were underrated, and not seeded in the tournament but still managed to come out of the groups losing only to the eventual winner of the tournament 3-2. The players gave it all they had but it was just not meant to be. Paul Makande played the tournament winner from South Africa and he was the only player who took a game from him but lost the decider (2-1),\u201d Lule explained.<\/p>\n<p>UBA now turn their attention to the All Africa Senior Badminton Championship, that will be hosted next month(21-28) and the Uganda Para-International Tournament thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>[email protected]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
