Tarinda Ratwatte missed the conversion. Uganda hit back with an equaliser at (1.59) from the speedster Kisiga Timothy.

HT : Sri Lanka 10 - 12 Uganda

It was only spills for the tuskers in the second half as too many unforced errors and kickoff/restarts retention woes. Uganda took advantage of the gifted opportunities to score three more tries to keep their 100% record in the commonwealth Games history with the fourth consecutive win. The try scorers were James Odongo (8.53), Adrian Kasito (9.56), Pius Ogena (11.36)

Reaction

"Uganda are a good team played in the world series qualifiers last week in Hong Kong and they are playing since last November as a unit, we just assembled from first March, so we need to play more tournaments as a unit.
