The players concluded the event with another defeat when they lost to Kenya Three in the last game of the double round robin contest in Mombasa, Kenya on Sunday morning.
Uganda lost seven games to Kenyan teams and only scooped one win in game seven from Kenya Four, with a couple of draws from Tanzania in the first and second leg of the contest.
