Judging from the international friendlies earlier this year (10 - 10 draw in Kampala and 8 -0 loss for the Lady Cranes in Nairobi), this year's Elgon Cup will be a closely contested affair. The team that makes the most of it's home advantage will take the cup this year.

Women's rugby in EA survives - but only just
Women's rugby in East Africa survived a major blow as the Kenya Rugby Football Union (KRFU) had initially pulled out their women's team from this year's Elgon Cup. It is not the first time KRFU has done so as they pulled out their women from the 2007 Elgon Cup competition. It seems that sanity prevailed upon KRFU and they reversed their decision and there will be a women's Elgon Cup this year.

The Ugandans have never lost to the Kenyans at home and seek to maintain that record this Saturday. More details on the squad this week.
