When Tooro United appointed Edward Golola in August last year, he made a promise to promote them to the Uganda Premier League.

In his remarks during the unveiling on August 12, Golola described the decision to appoint him as wise stating that he is winning a coach.

Fast forward to June 2021, Golola has guided the side to promotion by topping Rwenzori Group ahead of Proline as his side saw off Kigezi Home Boyz 1-0 on the final day of the regular season.

“It was not a simple game, the visitors had no pressure like us but my boys managed to follow instructions and kept in character,” he said after edging Kigezi before summing up the whole season. “It was not an easy season but am happy that I have fulfilled my goal.”

Tooro United were relegated last season when the league was abruptly ended with five games to play due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus that still hits the world.

Alongside Arua Hill from the Elgon Group, they will be joined by the winner of the playoffs amongst Proline, Nyamityobora, Blacks Power, and Gaddafi FC.
