The Inter-Parliamentary Games continued in Nairobi on Sunday with the parliamentary teams from Tanzania and Uganda registering impressive victories.
In netball, Uganda were the better side after beating EAC/Eala 42-17 at the Nyayo National Stadium.
The victors started the game on a high note taking the lead as early as the third minute when Goal Shooter (GS), Susan Ameyo scored the first point.
As the teams went to half time, Uganda had taken a commanding lead of 17-3 with Susan Netalisire notching 12 points for her side.
In the second half, EAC/Eala came back stronger, but the Ugandans who were more experienced, defended and attacked aggressively.
In football, Tanzania got off to a good start beating an under-strength Kenya’s Bunge FC 5-0.
Amos Makalla opened the scoring for the Tanzanian team in the 21st minute when he curved a shot that beat the Kenya National Assembly goalkeeper.
Yusuf Juma Gogo scored a brace in the 27th and 43rd minutes to ensure his team took a comfortable 3-0 lead at the breather.
Majority of the Parliamentarians of Bunge FC were, however, away in a busy weekend of politics greatly costing the team.
Owing to the rules and regulations that restrict the number of staff members playing, the team had only nine players on the field for a larger part of the game.
In the second half, Joshua Nassari and Mark Tanda completed the scoring in the 52nd and 57th minutes respectively to send Tanzania to the top of the table.
