HALFTIME: Malawi 35-22 Uganda

The Malawi Queens lead Uganda She Cranes 35-22 in the qualification tie at the on-going Netball World Cup in Australia.

At the end of quarter one, a dominant Malawi team led 19-10. Uganda has played catch up for a long spell with goal shooter, Peace Proscovia top scoring with 8 goals as Goal Attack, Rachael Nanyonga managed 2.

A tactical change by the She Cranes head coach, Rashid Mubiru saw Alice Nanteza start ahead of Florence Nanyonga at GK but it still remained an issue of limiting the damage as Malawi opened a 13 goal advantage (35-22) powered by Goal Shooter Mwayi Kumwenda.

The next two quarters will possibly present a mild challenge to the leader as the She Cranes plays catch up.
