Uganda’s Lady Cranes 7s have made four changes to their squad ahead of the 2024 Africa Women’s Sevens set for this weekend.

The side welcomes back experienced campaigners Samiya Ayikoru, Peace Lekuru, and Unity Namulala, while Susan Adong also returns to the fold.

The quartet replaces Tina Akello, Comfort Anganyika, and Racheal Mufuwa, who featured in the recent Safari 7s outing in Nairobi.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

Agnes Nakuya retains the captaincy and will lead a squad that also includes Lydia Namabiro, Yvonne Najjuma, Fazira Namukwaya, Grace Nabagala, Juliet Nandawula, Sandra Amoli Lona, and Janat Nandudu.
