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. 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. The two sides played again on the opening day, but neither side was able to find a goal in a nil-nil draw. However, the side went on to win three matches on the bounce to go top of the league at the halfway stage. 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. 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. == Domestic Record ==
