Prossy Nakakande, a recently qualified Industrial Engineer, and a new call up to the Lady Cranes squad has this to say … In Ugandan sports disappointments never seem to end. Seriously now, who of us doesn’t wish we were properly facilitated to make it to Tunisia? Ok, so let me sour grape for consolation. It’s Easter season and I’d definitely rather spend it at home with family and friends than with a Nation of Strangers. So come on girls, let’s look on the bright side (is there one?) It’s a busy year ahead of us and the best is yet to come.
On my part things couldn’t get better: I’ve just graduated from university (another addition to Uganda’s unemployed community) so rather than sinking into the despair commonly associated with jobseekers I’ve made playing rugby my part time job. No, I’m not paid. I’m part time on a voluntary basis. That aside it’s every sportswoman’s dream to represent their country and I have the heart, the love, the spirit and the will, throw in some skill and what more do you need?
Meanwhile as some of us wonder when our weekends will be given back to us (free of rugby) so we can hit the Entebbe beaches to chill out with our pals, others like Helen can’t believe the extent to which the alcohol - free horizon extends - right into 2009. That’s so far away … for the last two months it’s been almost impossible to catch her smiling on a Saturday evening.
To all the Lady Cranes, hide away the disappointment and let’s fly …
