Botswana netball team coach, Seipei Gaelisiwe has admitted that their poor start against Uganda has cost them dearly. Botswana lost 47-32 to Uganda in the Africa Netball World Championships qualifiers currently taking place in Gaborone.

“This is where we made a big blunder. You could see that our warm up was haphazard and that is where we start a game. If you are not organised in your warm up, you will not play very well,” she said.
