Former Harambee Starlets head coach David Ouma was on the touchline as Singida Black Stars thrashed Tabora United 3-0 in a Tanzania Premier League clash staged at Liti Stadium. The big win saw Singida leap to position three on the log, pending the outcome of the match between Azam FC and Kagera Sugar, which was still ongoing at the time of writing. Ouma has been in charge at Singida since February, when he was elevated to the rank of head coach following the exit of Miloud Hamdi, who ditched the club for Yanga. Since taking over, the former Sofapaka tactician has overseen the rise of Singida to the top four bracket, with the club almost assured of continental football next season. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8867607##Singida secured the three points courtesy of a brace from Jonathan Sowah and a goal from Victorian Adebayor. Kenyan striker Elvis Rupia started from the bench, as Ouma preferred Sowah to lead the forward line.Last season, Ouma helped another Tanzanian club, Coastal Union, punch a return to the CAF Confederation Cup after decades in the cold.
