October 12th, 2018 -- Newly promoted Mantab shocked last season’s finalist SOL Island Auto Supplies Conaree F.C. 2-1 in National Bank Premier League action on Saturday at the Warner Park.

Jean Gardy Petit Friere equalized in the 79th minute, but Sylvester Alexander gave Mantab the victory in stoppage time.
Manager of Mantab Clovis Liburd said considering that the team lost their first two matches of the season, they were motivated to win this match. “After we played the two games before, seen what we have to put out, especially in the second game, we knew we have something to take from the third game. All we have to do is keep fighting, keep pushing and don’t give up,” Liburd said. Coach Alexis Morris of Conaree said his team gave their best but suggested they have to take this loss on the chin and move on. “The only thing that we failed to do is failed to do is basically outscore them in terms of the number of goals that we got and that was difference between them and us this evening…if you look at the number of shots we had on target. It was always in our favour but like I said we were unable to capitalize on the most important department of the game,” Coach Morris said.
