AFRICAN NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Thursday results

Uganda 67 Zambia 50

Malawi 71 Botswana 39

Zimbabwe 68 Namibia 37

Rating of Uganda's She Cranes players against Zambia after they clinched the African Netball Championship title on home soil on Thursday.


Goal keeper Florence Nanyonga - 7.5

Played for the first time as goal keeper. Her movement was acute and made a few interceptions, won the ball back well but was no match for Zambia's GS Helen Bauda.

Goal defender Lillian Ajio - 8

She has been one of the team's standouts throughout the tournament. She distributed the ball well and supported Nanyonga well. Ajio helped draw more fouls that relieved the pressure whenever Zambia stepped on the gas.

Wing defence Wyckline Natweta - 7.5

She took over the role from Nanyonga and did well at it. She was there with interceptions and had good movement and was available to receive the ball.

Center Betty Kizza - 9

The 20-year-old had another good performance. She helped with distribution, wasn't careless with the centre passes and has vision beyond her years. She always knew which ball to deliver to skipper Peace Proscovia.

Wing attack Halima Nakachwa - 7.5

This was one of her quieter matches because she played wing attack. She was always available in attack and found Proscovia whenever she needed too.

Goal attack Hadijja Nakabuye - 8

Her chemistry with Proscovia was immense and she could barely do any wrong. She shot when she was called upon and helped stretch Uganda's lead.

Goal shooter Peace Proscovia - 9

She didn't get the perfect score because she played one half. The shooter outmatchED Zambia's defender every time a ball was lofted into the air. She was simply immense for her team and was constantly ready to receive the ball at all times.

ZAMBIA PLAYER RATINGS

Goal shooter Hellen Bauda - 8

Was by far Zambia's best player on the court. She had a 100 percent shooting accuracy, moved well and left Nanyonga at a disadvantage.

Wing Defence Gift Bunga - 5

Couldn't hold off Nakachwa as well as she should have committed many fouls against the She Cranes.

Goal defence Juliet Kaputeni - 4

Was at a thorough disadvantage against Proscovia and was in foul trouble as well.

Goal attack Lucy Jere - 6.5

She performed as well as they could in attack. She found Bauda whenever she got the opportunity.

Goal keeper Besiya Katere - 4

She was in foul trouble against Proscovia, was outmatched, sin-binned and had no leeway defensively.

Centre Orient Mwanza - 5

The center started as well as any center in this tournament has started against Uganda but was put under pressure by Kizza. She lost possession a time or two which proved costly.

Wing attack Rhoda Zulu - 5

She was kept quiet by Wyckline Natweta, her game lacked bite and she was also in foul trouble.
