The national netball team the She Cranes last week entered a residential camp at the African Bible University in Lubowa, in their preparation for the Netball World Cup.
Despite the fact that the university arena has a good floor surface, the team will not be training from there. This is because it is only designed for basketball where netball posts and rings cannot be fitted. This was only discovered after the UNF had already paid the residential fees.
