After a long break we faced our rivals from across the road on 11th September, in a 10 aside game during the URU 7s tournament held at Makerere. Due to time constraints our game was really short. 3 minutes each way running time. We were just getting warmed up when the game ended. We won 5 nil courtesy of a try from Charlotte. She danced her way through 4 birds to score out wide. My (Helen) conversion stopped just short of the posts. It was a game we dominated and we really should have scored more tries. We take too long to settle into games - something we'll need to remedy. Otherwise, great stuff from us and we're looking to up the tempo this Saturday at the Kitaka Memorial 7s at Kampala Rugby Club. This time we'll be playing 7s. We're entering 2 teams and I hope the birds will enter 2 teams as well so we have a four team tournament. We also managed to recruit a new player - Kjersti (pronounced Chursty) Garfors. She's a medical student from Norway and will be with us for 6 weeks. She's absolutely tiny - only slighter bigger than Regina.
