The donation included T-shirts, shorts, ladies tops and shoes, rackets, wrist bands bottom for men and ladies, squash balls and overgrips and grips.
Kawooya said this was the second donation from Hampshire sought through a friendship he has with the club.

Squash is still a growing sport in the country with many of the courts and players centred around Kampala.
Apart from the Rock Classic Hotel court in Tororo that was unveiled this year, there isn't much squash in up country towns.
