The two teams that qualified for the top flight had qualified for the playoff final on Thursday after seeing off Ndejje and Masavu respectively.
Striker Lubega scored a brace to take his tally in the Big League to 21 goals and cap a mixed week in which he was summoned to the Cranes team.
On Friday, he was stopped by organizers from featuring again for his school Dynamic SS at the Copa Coca Cola football tournament after he left to take part in the playoffs.
He was involved in all four goals for his side as he was fouled for Gift Ali to drive home the resultant free kick and give Proline the lead that was cancelled out by a Dickens Okwi penalty.
He was then brought down for Simon Mbazira to slot home a 54th minute penalty before he lobbed goalkeeper Steven Odongo two minutes later.
He completed his double with a fine header as Proline joined Onduparaka and Kirinya-Jinja SS in next season’s topflight league two years after they were demoted.
Kirinya-Jinja who will be promoted as Big League champions after defeating Uganda Cup semifinalists Onduparaka 2-0 in the evening game in front of arguably the largest crowd in the top two divisions this season. Musa Magumba got the first shortly before half time with Joseph Opolot netting the second after the restart to silence the opposition fans many of whom had travelled from Arua.
