Resolute Manning targeting comeback win

Monday, 30 April 2012 01:00

Nearly 3,500 fans watched the match on Saturday

The Isle of Man manager is already targeting a comeback win against Jersey in Gibraltar this summer after Saturday's heartbreaking defeat.

Kevin Manning was left devastated on Saturday after his team came within seconds of winning in the Inter-League Cup, before conceding a goal in the 94th minute.

The host eventually lost 2-1 in extra time in from of nearly 3,500 fans at the Bowl.

Despite being bitterly disappointed, Manning has no doubt the Manx will redeem this defeat in their next international tournament (see audio).
