“This is a big tournament that most of us are playing for the first time. So we can’t promise that we shall win it, but we believe we have gained a lot of experience and exposure,”ssid Uganda’s seed two, David Oringa.
He added, "If we continue with such tournaments every month, then there will be an improvement in the way we play and we shall be able to judge our others better.”
