Mbarara City have been relegated to the FUFA Big League after five years in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
This follows a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to UPDF on Sunday at Kakyeeka on match day 28.
Aggrey Kiirya and Rogers Mugisha scored the goals for the army side who climb to 7th place on the log with 36 points with Seiri Agumaho netting Mbarara City’s consolation.
Defeat leaves the Ankole Lions second from bottom with 22 points, seven behind safety places with only two games remaining to end the season.
They now join Tooro United, their next league opponents as the two sides that have so far gone to the Fufa Big League.
Their focus will now shift to Stanbic Uganda Cup where they are in the semis and face Vipers in a two legged tie.
