On Sunday May 15, SOL IAS Conaree F.C. and St. Peters F.C. each registered their first
victories of the Premier League restart when they got the better of Trafalgar Southstars and
S-Krave Newtown United respectively. Kyhron Phillip scored for St. Peters in the 17 th
minute while Yuson Slader found the back of the net at the stroke of half time in the 1 st
