Does any one know of any policy on sports in Uganda? How can a team
representing a whole nation be in an embarassing situation like this?

Oh cry my beloved country!!
You are no more, gone the good days
When one could proudly say
"'am from the Pearl of Africa"
Where the beautiful crane
gracefully traverse the skies!!

Gone, gone, gone!
