Kampala, Oct 31 (IANS): The Uganda women's golf team captain, Peace Kabasweka, stated they are in good form ahead of the East and Central All Africa Challenge Golf Trophy set to be held in Kigali, Rwanda.

Seven countries are set to compete in the regional competition, scheduled at the Kigali Golf Resort and Villas from October 31 to November 4, Xinhua reports.
