The competition has progressed smoothly under the Ugandan skies and also under the keen eye of the International Woodball Federation President, Hui Weng – inventor of the game of Woodball. The finals that will take place on August 26th seem to be destined for a close fight for the title – Meng Hung Tsai (Chinese Taipei) has led the 2 opening rounds but Ahris Sumariyanto (Indonesia), the World Tour Leader in 2009, has been close behind.
