With 4 editions to go, team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ continues to pull ahead with a slightly increased 402.5 points against lead contender Colombia ๐จ๐ด. Team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ continues to pull ahead increasing its lead. At this stage it is all but practically impossible for any team to catch up with the Ugandan team.
