Uganda Police shot the works on the National Recurve Bow Archery Championship, emerging overall winners with an unmatched total of 3 golds and 1 bronze Sunday at the Kibuli Police Training Grounds.
Police's Hassan Babu put on an inspiring 286 points to claim gold in the men's category, shooting at a distance of 30m. Victory Club's Nelson Nuwagaba collected 229 points to claim a silver medal as his teammate Elonge Mugenyi took bronze with 221 points.
Makerere Club who were among the favourites coming into the one day meet settled for second best overall courtesy of Charity Kisakye's 240 where she as well emerged the best female, taking home gold.
Nelson Nuwagaba salvaged some pride for Victory Club when he won silver as his side came third in the championship which is in another way meant to scrutinize players for next year's busy archery calendar where Uganda seeks to feature in the World Cup Series which will run in different countries that include France, United States, Turkey, and China.
Uganda is targeting at least one or two.
