Veteran striker Robert Sentongo inspired Kyetume as they earned promotion to the Uganda Premier League.

Sentongo who joined the Mukono based side in the second round of the league scored a hattrick as Kyetume humbled Kansai Plascon 4-1 in the playoff final at Lugogo on Saturday evening.

"The reason why I was signed is to ensure that I lead the club to the top flight which I have done. My next move is to ensure that I get a new club outside the country. If I fail, I will return to Kyetume if we agreed on the new deal since am no longer contracted with them," Ssentongo stated.

Benon Tahomera scored the other for the side coached by Jackson Mayanja while Henry Kitegenyi scored a consolation for Kansai Plascon.

Kyetume joined Proline and Wakiso Giants as the teams promoted to the Uganda Premier League.
