History

Reports of a club having entered the 2019 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League from the Kimbe region, under the name of West Tribe, first appeared in late 2018. [2] The club were drawn into the Islands Conference. Before the season started, the club played a trial match against conference rivals Greengold Liners, winning 2–1. [3] The two sides played again on the opening day, but neither side was able to find a goal in a nil-nil draw. [4] However, the side went on to win three matches on the bounce to go top of the league at the halfway stage. [5]

Consecutive 3–2 defeats to playoff rivals Chebu AROB FC and Radazz FC put their qualification for the next stage in doubt, but the side required only a win on the final day against bottom-of-the-table Vudal Gazelle FC to secure a place in the next stage. [1] They were able to win the game 5–1, qualifying in second place behind Chebu AROB. [1]

The club were drawn away against eight-time champions Hekari United in the quarter-finals, [6] and despite a 'stand out' performance from Tribe's goalkeeper Alken Karapa limiting Hekari to just two goals, Tribe were unable to respond, going down 2–0 in their final match of the season. [1] [7]
