Last week’s edition of the practice tournament (nations league) saw 13?countries represented. Team Ugandan 🇺🇬 represented by 7 played led the participation table. Followed by Team Colombia 🇨🇴represented by 6 players. Team Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 represented by 3 players came in third. Austria 🇦🇹Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 & the U.K. 🇬🇧 were represented by 2 players each. With 1 each from the remaining 7 countries: Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬, Benin 🇧🇯 , Belarus 🇧🇾, China 🇨🇳, Germany 🇩🇪, Ghana 🇬🇭 Nigeria 🇳🇬
Colombia 🇨🇴 has overtaken the U.K. 🇬🇧 and is now in 2nd position with 179.5?points. Nigeria 🇳🇬continues to make an effort to bridge the gap with its now 89.0 points. However connection issues and a a reduction in players plague these efforts.
Colombia 🇨🇴 it seems has taken up the organisational challenge, adding two players to its team this week, to take its team members to 10. Still far short of Team Uganda’s 🇺🇬 21, with an addition of an extra player. With 22 editions to go this season’s league is quickly drawing to a close. Will Colombia 🇨🇴, the UK 🇬🇧 or Nigeria 🇳🇬 be able to mount a final valiant assaults to overtake Uganda’s 🇺🇬 lead? It is looking less and less likely.
