Kampala

With adequate planning and preparation you will always get the results!

This shows in the contrasting fortunes in the Rugby Cranes losing the Elgon Cup and then going on to storm the CAR finals.

With guilt and determination to make amends, the team went into camp for a month culminating in a week's training sojourn in Pretoria thanks to SARU.

Now Uganda stands on the brink of history when she squares off against Madagascar in the CAR cup finals.

The home team are not the biggest opponents but have frightening pace and high endurance levels meaning that concentration levels will have to go into over drive.

To qualify for the final, Uganda avenged an earlier defeat with a pulsating 24-12 victory against Kenya.

But reports indicate the score line did not tell the whole story as the smaller Ugandan forwards completely destroyed their opponents at all set pieces.

I must say the Cranes forward line are the unsung heroes of all their victories.

The raptous roar from the 40,000 spectators in the Stade de Mahamasia showed they got their money's worth.

Ironically, Cranes will not only have to play against 15 men but a 40,000 partisan home crowd today.
