With only twenty three riders, Team Uganda managed a fourth place finish at the weekend Motocross of African Nations Championship in Kitwe, Zambia.
Uganda collected a total of 325 points. South Africa took the overall victory, Zimbabwe followed in second place while the host country Zambia finished in third.
Uganda registered a gold and bronze medal in the MX85 and MX125 class respectively.
There was more for Uganda to be happy about as Stav Orland claimed gold in the MX85 category; fending off South Africa’s Jonathan Milimi in what was a tighly contested affair.
Orland topped two heats and came second in the last heat to clinch his maiden Africa MX title.
His elder brother Aviv Orland was equally on a mission but would only finish in third place to pick up bronze in the MX125 class.
Team captain Maxime Van Pee settled for seventh position overall in the MX1 class.
