The women rugby governing body -UWRA is impressed with the national women 7s team performance in the Rugby Africa 7s tournament that ended over the weekend.

The team lost in the semi-final to Zimbabwe 24-10.

"This is a great performance and am confident we shall be second or champions in the next tournament," Namapi said

"We need to keep the team together and get more exposure for the girls to gain experience in what we are looking at," Namapi explained.

However, despite all its plan, UWRA faces a challenge of finance to implement them.

The team travelled to South Africa after the intervention of Dr. Leonard Were who launched a fundraising campaign that raised sh2.5m for the girls' accommodation and transport to and from the Entebbe airport.
