How does it feel knowing that you are going for the World Cup? I feel great because we are the first team froom Uganda to qualify for a World Cup.
What do you as an individual hope to do at the World Cup that will help Lady Cranes perform well? I will play hard, be aggressive and play my heart out.
What do you think Uganda’s chances at the World Cup are? We are looking good so I feel we can make it to the finals. We can try and bring that cup home.
Other interests/talents: Volleyball and dancing.
Christine Kizito earned the nickname Landlord because of her imposing size. Switching from volleyball to rugby is a decision that she does not regret as she found a sport that she truly fitted in. Christine rarely dances but when she does, the earth moves …
