Bridge Makes Its Mark in Eastern Uganda:

Busitema University, Uganda – The tranquil surroundings of Busitema University, located near the Uganda-Kenya border, recently became the epicenter of an exciting development in the world of bridge. The Uganda Bridge Federation, acting on a pivotal executive resolution, has embarked on an ambitious initiative to introduce the game across Uganda, with a significant training session conducted at the university.

Renowned bridge coach Kizito Arnold led the training, which saw the enthusiastic participation of twelve players. The Federation’s commitment was evident as they provided essential equipment, including a set of bidding boxes, playing cards, and a table mat, ensuring the Busitema players had the proper tools to hone their skills.

“These resources are just the beginning,” Coach Arnold emphasized. “With dedication and practice, these players can become formidable opponents on the national stage.”

The training focused on scoring, bidding, and card play, laying a solid foundation for the participants. The Federation representative encouraged players to continue reading and practicing to enhance their skills further. This comprehensive approach aims to prepare the players for the National Bridge League 2024.

With their newly acquired equipment, the Busitema Bridge Club is now poised to represent the region in the national league, held every fortnight. This marks a significant step for the club and the Federation’s broader vision for bridge in Uganda.

As the initiative unfolds, the Federation’s efforts at Busitema University symbolize the beginning of a new era for bridge in Eastern Uganda, nurturing a community of players ready to compete and grow in this strategic and captivating game.
