Team Bio
Uganda are the only debutantes at this years netball competition at the Commonwealth Games. Now ranked 7th in the INF World Rankings, Uganda have enjoyed a seismic rise up the international ladder.
In August 2014, Uganda were ranked 15th in the INF World Rankings. Last year Uganda won the African Netball Championships which saw them move into the top 10.
The She Cranes are captained by Peace Proscovia, who won the Vitality Super League Player of The Year for last season in England. The shooter scored 812 goals throughout the season for her club side Loughborough Lightning, which was the most in the league.
Uganda recently traveled to Barbados for a three match test series in which the She Cranes were victorious 2-1. The first two matches were very close with Uganda taking the first game and Barbados leveling the series up in the second game. The series decider was a little bit more clear cut as Uganda secured a comfortable victory. For the full story on that particular series click here.
Squad
Captain Peace Proscovia is one of netball most recognisable role models. Read more about how her life has changed through netball here. On International Women’s Day, GC.com featured eleven inspirational women of the Commonwealth Games, in which Peace featured. Read more about that here.
Peace was also recently unveiled as an International Ambassador for the INF and Netball World Cup 2019 Ambassador. She will lead her side to the Gold Coast.
