The pride of Uganda dancing to the tune after beating Jamaica 33:22 in the Fast 5 Series.
Both these sides were looking for their first victory in their second match of the day, and it was Uganda that got off to a great start with their centre, Baagala, making 5 feeds and claiming 3 pickups in the first 6 minutes, as they lead 10 – 3 at the break.
The second quarter was better from the Sunshine Girls as Kimone Shaw claimed 3 interceptions, however Uganda were still able to win the quarter 7 – 4 making the half-time score Uganda 17 – 7 Jamaica.
Uganda continued to dominate proceedings and they were now able to play safe netball as they looked to take close-ranged shots where possible, whereas Jamaica knew they had to take risks but were lacking accuracy. At the third quarter break the score was Jamaica 15 – 25 Uganda.
The pattern of the game did not change in the final quarter as Uganda claimed their first win of the tournament. Final score Jamaica 22 – 33 Uganda
