Charlotte Mudoola of the Uganda Rugby Referees Society (URRS) made history during the recent Elgon Cup match between Uganda and Kenya. The first leg of the Elgon Cup competiton was held at Kyadondo Rugby Club on the 28th of May. Charlotte became the first woman in Uganda (and possibly Africa) to officiate at a senior men's test match. Charlotte and Charles Mungoma (URRS) were touch judges for the Zambian centre referee, Chris Mwamba (ZRRS).
Uganda has a good record of trying to promote female officials. In 2004, Helen Buteme (URRS) travelled to Harare, Zimbabwe as part of the team of 3 that officiated the IRB U 19 World Cup qualifier match between Zimbabwe and Kenya. Helen and David Kirabira (URRS) were touch judges for Ramsey Olinga (URRS).
