Uganda and Kenya faced off in the opening two rounds of the 2023 Victoria Cup tournament yesterday at Uganda Golf Club, Kampala.
At the end of the day, defending champions Kenya had a three-point lead thanks to five wins and a draw out of the eight matches played.
With Kenya on 5.5 points, Uganda needed to boss today morning but the rains ruined their plans and now, they have to wait for the afternoon round to play catch up.
If the fourth round is also washed out as well, Kenya will have one hand on the trophy as action enters the final day, Saturday.
