Good news from Africa
Reports from Ugandan rugby sources suggest that the team may be able to travel to next months Africa South sevens after all - and therefore keep alive their World Cup hopes alive.
It appears that, with the aid of some cost savings (bringing the target down to around £10,000) plus fundraising efforts, two-thirds of the money needed to send the team to Botswana has already been raised. Another £2500 is still needed for plane tickets, and £1300 for preparation expenses - but with a month to go the team are confident that they'll be able to raise the extra funds needed.
