Nairobi, Kenya | GOLF CORRESPONDENT | Shaka Kariisa made a late charge with a 2-under 70, Uganda’s best score at the 2026 All Africa Junior Team Championship (AAJTC) that ended in Nairobi on Thursday, but it was only good enough to secure 4th position in the boys’ category.

Antony Otukei was, at 12th overall, Uganda’s outstanding player with a 6-over-par score of 222 over three days as the team improved on last year’s 5th-position performance. Uganda’s junior girls’ golf team finished 6th.

South Africa dominated the tournament yet again, winning both the boys’ and girls’ categories, booking a place for both in the 2026 Toyota Junior World Cup golf tournament to be held in Tokyo later in the year. Kenya booked the other position in the boys’ tournament by virtue of coming second.

Andries Van Der Vyver finished the 54-hole competition as the best player with a stunning 15-under-par score of 201 at the par 72 Windsor Golf and Country Club.

Team Uganda, under the auspices of Flavia Namakula, has been supported by the National Council of Sports, Kenya Airways who are the official travel partners, Uganda Golf Union and R&A.
