*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last week’s edition of the practice tournament (nations league) had 16 countries represented. Uganda 🇺🇬 represented by 7 players. Followed by Colombia 🇨🇴 with 3 players. Then Benin 🇧🇯, Ghana 🇬🇭, Nigeria 🇳🇬 & the UK 🇬🇧 represented by 2 players. The remaining countries: Belarus 🇧🇾, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Germany 🇩🇪, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 were represented by one player each.
This week there was one change to the nations league ranking order. The Benin 🇧🇯 pulled ahead of France 🇫🇷 swapping places to 8th. Participation numbers where back to normal after the timing confusion from of the previous week.
With 11 editions to go, team Uganda 🇺🇬 continues to pull ahead with an increased 392 points lead against Colombia, the nearest contender. Team Uganda 🇺🇬are not relenting, making sure their numbers compensate for the lack of top positions & thus points. As it is said there are many ways of skinning a cat.
