Uganda has finished fifth at the FIBA U16 Women’s African Championship.
The Junior Gazelles beat their regional rivals Rwanda, 66-51, at Amahoro Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Uganda edged the closely contested first quarter 14-13 before extending the lead to 7 points as the second quarter ended at 34-27.
After the break, Rwanda tried to comeback and trailed by just three points going into the last quarter.
While the start to the last quarter was scrappy, the Ugandans worked hard to pull away deep in the quarter as the tournament hosts lost gas.
