HARBOUR VIEW  Celebrates its’ 30th  Anniversary (March 4th,1974)  all season long 2003- 2004
THE HARBOUR VIEW FOOTBALL CLUB

celebrates it's 30th  Anniversary (March 4th,1974) all season long 2003- 2004.

Since the days when the eager citizens of Harbour View grouped together at the Harbour View Primary School halls to meet and greet each other all around The love of football mostly then at the Minor League Under 16 years level before taking the conscious decision to enter the Major League in September 1974 after electing officers in the newly formed Harbour View Football Club previously named after the community  only – Harbour View. 

 


HARBOUR VIEW AND SEBA PLAY TO A 0-0 SCORELINE.

In a game that seemed a true reflection of its scoreline.

The revenge to be executed on the part of Seba was not to be realised as the strikers wasted three clear opportunities in the second half to take all three points from top of the table team Harbour View at the Jarrett Park venue in front of a very small home crowd.

Harbour View looked very flat as they strolled around the park seemingly unruffled by the threats of the Seba attackers while not breaking a heavy sweat in trying to wear down the opponents defence.

Coach Donovan Hayles was not amused with the inefficiency of his team both in defence and attack, remarking to the press that his team was fortunate to come away with a point thanks largely to custodian Leeroy Grey.

Harbour View lead the game 1-0 after 65 minutes when the referee signalled the end of the game as only 5 players remained on the field. The other members of the Seba squad followed the police vehicle as it carried away the offending player to the police station.

FOCUSSED ON VICTORY HARBOUR VIEW RETURNS TO WINNING WAYS OVER WATERHOUSE AT THE COMPOUND

A more single-minded team unit finally remembered what it takes to gain three points as a plucky performance at home was a breath of fresh air to the Harbour View supporters which included World Class athletes Usian Bolt, Jermaine Gonzales and the gorgeous Bridgette Foster big sister to homeboy Lovell Palmer.

Loyal fans remained for a hour or more after the game still savouring the thought of being back again on top of the Premier League table, in addition to the atmosphere of excellence that permeated the grounds as ’the real’ gold and blue team turned up today to correct the anomally left behind from the end-of-first-round finals when waterhouse lifted the coveted crown for the title plus $150,000 and an enormous measure of pride.

Fabian Taylor looked sharpest at the start with telling runs goalwards resulting in a fierce grounder slamming at the base of the right upright with goalkeeper Loxely Ried well beaten plus two headers flashing wide of the mark from out jumping defenders around the penalty spot. Jermaine Hue’s two leftfooted drives were well handled by the experienced Ried while Clifton Waugh’s 40 yards diagonal pass to the left corner flag attracted the attention of Robert Scarlett whose designed square evaded the out-stretched efforts of attackers, defenders and the goalkeeper alike for the alert overlapping Donald Stewart to slam home from 10 yards beyond the far post. Harbour View up 1-0.

The 36th minute celebration seamed to have a victorious statement attached to it.

Waterhouse attacking plays centered around Nigerian Ucheckuwu Chinyere, Irvino English and Damion Powell counter-attacking if and when he wins the ball from his man marked hit-man Jermaine Hue. The efficient Baris Johnson coordinated defensive and early attacking combinations at the back but the dynamic team plays displayed in the first round was noticebly absent today. The half ended 1-0.

Waterhouse came alive as the ends changed, searching tentatively for a goal that had eluded them thus far only to realise Harbour View was more intent on increasing the lead.

It came only nine minutes into the half when a Fabian Taylor shot was charged down by the central defender but as it bounced Jomo Gordon pounced on it to drive home from seven yards much to the seemingly surprise of custodian Loxely Ried to cast an air of invincibility to ‘The View’ on the day. A block on the goalline by William Richards, fine saves from Leeroy Grey and stout-hearted defending by Palmer, Stewart, Waugh alongside Richards and completed by the energetic midfielder Conrad Hunt.

Supersub Nicholas McCreath made his entrance immediately soliciting a marker who struggled helplessly to contain him even when fouling him before he passed to Taylor to slot home from six yards only to be ruled offside. The game pattern remained unchanged throughout with Harbour View dominating possession and Waterhouse competing through long searching dribbles upfield combined with simple passes aimed increasingly at Chinyere who got maximum rotational attention from Waugh, Richards, Harvey and Grey in goal.

That plan worked well throughout as Harbour View resorted to a stay behind-the-ball strategy that frustrated the opponents while Akeem Priestly and Dino Williams replaced

Conrad Hint and Robert Scarlett adding attacking punch to the weary team unit who were now staring defeat squarely in the face and accepting it after 90 minutes.

Harbour View 2 Waterhouse 0.

 


INVADERS GAIN A DRAW AWAY TO HARBOUR VIEW

In an unattractive display of inconsistent football Harbour View again produced a below par first half performance against the maturing Invaders of Trelawny at the Compound this afternoon.

The result means that Harbour View has only scored one victory in their last six games when they played to a 4-2 win over Rivoli United. A record that reads as follows:

  • 0-1 versus Reno
  • 0-0 versus Star Cosmos
  • 4-2 versus Rivoli
  • 1-2 versus Waterhouse
  • 2-2 versus Constant Spring
  • 1-1 versus Invaders

The results reflect a current slump in form that has garnered only 6 points from the possible 18 points, 8 goals for and 8 goals against, twice we have not scored, twice we have scored only once, twice we have scored more than two goals, once have we not conceded a goal, twice we have conceded one goal,three times we have conceded two goals , Robert Scarlett has scored once,Lovell Palmer and Jermaine Hue has scored twice and Fabian Taylor has scored three times.

A first half that created very little excitement was punctuated by a 36th minute tap home on the line by an unchallenged Livingston Williams who benefited from a free header at the back post resulting from an indirect free-kick. The half ended Invaders 1-0.

A totally different Harbour View came out in the second half with a sense of urgency that signalled they came to play as Invaders packed their defence with six players and looked for the occasional counter-attack through ace forward Thomas Grant who gave the defenders a torrid time all afternoon with his blistering pace and shots on the run.

Coordination was smooth in midfield and flowing upfront, it peaked with the introduction of Conrad Hunt, Nicholas McCreath’s return and Kemar Petrekin was added culminating in a passing combination of Jermaine Hue finding McCreath whose shot goalward was blocked at the far post by custodian Richard McCallum for Fabian Taylor once again to follow through and score his ninth of the season.

The disappointed group of supporters filed out of the gates as they pondered the next game performance on the weekend against league leaders Waterhouse.
