When the Cranes upstaged Tanzanian with a 4-1 aggregate victory to guarantee a place at the Africa Nations Championship finals due in South Africa next year, my guess would not differ from everyone else’s Coach Micho Sredojevic’s troops would scoop the month’s accolade.

The triumphant side was Monday after noon unanimously rewarded with the USPA Sports Personality of the Month award at Lugogo Tennis Club Canteen.

Cranes coach Micho attributed the success to team work, “I am pleased because it was a case of everyone pulling in one direction,” he told RED Pepper Online in a phone interview.

And Micho’s team assembles this week for the high profile international friendly game against Egypt on August 14 as they prepare for their big 2014 World Cup qualifier against Senegal to be played in a neutral venue at the State de Marrakech Stadium in Morocco.

The journalists also commended NIC ladies Netball team and both Uganda national volleyball for excelling in the month of July.
