They bounced back in the 2017-18 season: Highlanders were promoted to the 2018-19 Botswana Premier League after defeating Great North Tigers 1-0 in the second-last game of the season. Emmanuel Thakadu scored the goal which sent Highlanders back to the top flight two minutes from time, ensuring Highlanders won the 2017-18 First Division North title.
