The told story of Uganda Lacrosse qualification into the 3rd straight World Championships

 To qualify or to die trying.

Ugandan players ready for to the Kenya job.

Triple overtime goal completed a stunning comeback for Uganda on Kenyan soil in front of an impatient crowd. Kenya led 3-2 at the end of the first period, with Uganda never leading the rest of the way to the final goal of the sudden victory more than two hours later.

Kenya recorded a four-goal streak to close out the first half, including a 3-0 second half, and lead 6-2 at the break. After a long gap for both teams at the start of the third quarter, Uganda stepped into the game with the first goal from the frame to close the gap to three.

Kenya players dominatd the mind games until the last minute of the game.

Kenya responded with a goal in the frame, but Uganda had halved the score at the end of the period, leading just 7-5 going into the fourth. Uganda cut it to one with the first goal of the quarter, but Kenya took an 8-6 lead to revitalize the crowd.

Uganda enjoyed two penalties and clawed just over three minutes to play. Less than a minute later, Uganda equalised for the first time since the first quarter and finally sent the game to extra time.

After more than 25 minutes in real-time and two nerve-racking goalless overtime, Uganda finally pulled the deadlock and took a 9-8. victory.

OPISI RONALD - MVP 2022 MOYO LACROSSE INDEPENDENCE CUP TOURNAMENT

 West Nile native, based player stuns opponents with a test of local grassroots lacrosse development sauce from Moyo Lacrosse Program which has 5 academy's in total.

The reason I love lacrosse is because anyone or everyone despite skill levels can always jump in and make a real impact.

Opisi Ronald did that exactly, jumping in with us on select Team A and boom, getting himself on the scoreboard.

We haven't talked since then but I wish to think this will be a turning point towards his commitment to the game and wanting to continue scoring such and even more thrilling net bursters in future for club and country 

The tournament was organised to collect and gather used equipment to assist further with the 5 academy's that target youthful players.

What a memorable way to celebrate 60 years of Uganda independence from the imperial colonial exploiters of the human and natural resources 🇺🇬

Jinja, Nakifuma teams for the inaugural Little Lacrosse League

 Kids Lacrosse Africa steps forward to keep youth academy's competitive through the calendar year by adding the LLL.

With a future plan to engage all academy teams from allover Uganda, teams from Nakifuma, Jinja (Big Dogs, KLA) will be the first to test drive the new development.

After a great tournament in Ireland by the Uganda U21 Men's team, so much focus on youth academy's and programs is aimed at creating the next pool of well refined players to take over the positions of the many that will graduate to the senior men's national team for 2023.
