Uganda's national amateur women team put up a lackluster performance to finish joint eleventh with Morocco in the just concluded All African Challenge Trophy (AACT) that was hosted by Egypt.
South Africa, who have won every edition of the most prestigious event on the continent, continued to show their dominance after they team raked up an aggregate 431 at the three-day event that took place at the Katameya Heights Golf and Tennis Resort in Cairo.
Host Egypt finished second, 38 strokes behind the record winners, whereas Zimbabwe and Zambia shared third place after amassing 476 gross apiece. Kenya (478) left the biennial event in a respectable fifth place.

Eva Okatch was Uganda's best player, finishing 24th in the individual rankings with an aggregate of 262 out of 51 participants. Flavia Namakula (263) finished 26th whereas veteran Monica Ntege (274) was 33rd.
South Africa's players Smit Monique (212), Tandi Cuningham (221) and Gina Switala (226) completed a 1,2,3 finish.
Each country was represented by a team of three players with the best two scores from the three being considered for the "team score." A record of 17 teams competed in the 2008 AACT.
