Tooro United have secured automatic promotion to the StarTimes Uganda Premier League for the 2021/22 season after a one-year absence.
The ‘Entale Za Tooro’ booked a top spot after beating Kigezi Homeboyz 1-0 on the last day of the season at Wankulukuku stadium.
Marvin Oshaba, brought down in the area, converted from the spot to score the only goal of the game.
Tooro had on Wednesday fluffed the chance for automatic promotion after a goalless draw with Luwero United but managed to make amends on Sunday.
“It was not a simple game, the Visitors had no pressure like us but my boys managed to follow instructions and kept in character. It was not an easy season but am happy that I have fulfilled my goal,” said a happy Tooro United coach Edward Golola.
They finish top of Rwenzori Group with 31 points while Proline and Nyamityobora are the two teams that will vie for the playoff spots in the group.
