The hosts carded 1,012 gross after 54 holes at the Kitante golf course to win the team title for the first time, when Monica Ntege completed the double as the best player at 246.

The Kampala player, who opened her account on Tuesday with 7-over-par 79, the best score in a single round, dropped three shots for 82 in round two and finished at 85 in round three on Wednesday.

Rwanda, the only challenger in the regional tournament, who was making a tournament debut, carded 1,167 with Alphonsine Murekateteas their top performer at 279.

Kenya, winners of the event held four years ago, made a last minute withdrawal, while Tanzania only presented two players instead of the mandatory full team of four.

Deo Akope, coach of Uganda ladies, who was very satisfied with the team's excellent performance, expressed regret for having few participants in the circuit.

"I am happy for them, but the event would have been more exciting if Kenya and Tanzania golfers had participated," said Akope.
