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 RESPONDS POSITIVELY TO DEFEAT RENO 2-0 AT HOME.
A Fabian Taylor second half
brace, shots him into the lead.
After outstanding goalkeeping
by the Reno custodian in the first hour had kept the Harbour
View marksmen at bay the determined attackers were bent on
overcoming the drought of not getting maximum points and even
moreso the bitter disappointment of the Village United debacle
on their most recent home game some two weeks ago.
The newly acquired habit of
leading then crumbling was pleasingly absent today after a
three-man midfield combination including Jermaine Hue and
Donald Stewart before releasing the fleet-footed Nicholas
McCreath pass his marker down the right side of the penalty
area while turning inside a pinpoint square that was gleefully
met with aplumb by Taylors’ header some 8 yards out to break
the deadlock after 76 minutes, much to the delight of the
crowd.
The celebrations had hardly
died down when McCreath was again swinging by a defender into
the now fruitful right-sided channel before picking out his
strike partner Fabian Taylor at the near post this time his
deflected right-footer glanced by the wall of defenders to
score his fifteenth of the season and re-establishes him as
the number one hitman once again. He buried the memory of
being strechered of last Sunday by a Ian Goodison right-handed
punch that went unpunished, not so today as he unleashed his
anger on the next available opponent. Somehow you get the
feeling that many more is going to suffer and many more will
have to die, as Taylor demonstrates his class for all to see.
The newly acquired transfer of
Gregg Gardner the former Constant Spring goalscorer added much
needed punch to the frontline as Nicholas McCreath established
himself as a competent midfielder and so too we must commend
Dino Williams on his outstanding second half display from the
right back position that showed a lot of high quality football
in both defence and attack.
HARBOUR VIEW UNDER 21 TEAM TROUNCE HAPLESS RENO 5-0, TO REMAIN
ON TARGET FOR A END OF 2nd ROUND PLACE IF WE DEFEAT STAR
COSMOS NEXT SUNDAY.
Another goal by Kemar Petrekin
pushes his tally to 13 and keeps him atop the goalscoring
chart in that division, while a 9th minute 20 yard left-footed
volley from 16 year old Anthony Christie and a 22nd minute
goal from left back Kevin Woolery helped ‘The Stars of the
East’ to a 3-0 lead at the halftime.
Goals from Andre ‘Antsman’
Whyte and defender Theodore Washington sealed the issue late
in the game after two Reno players were red carded. Next
Sunday Harbour View takes on Star Cosmos as both the Under
21’s and Premier League teams hunt valuable points at home.
HARBOUR
VIEW FAILS AGAIN AFTER TAKING THE LEAD !!
Tivoli
Gardens overpowers opponents in second half blitz.
Fabian Taylor’s early (7th
minute) strike was cancelled out by two second half stunners
from Christopher Nicholas after he entered the frey to convert
immediately from the penalty spot in minute 55 then a
controlled finish eight minutes later from the top of the box
to seal a victory that was marred by poor officiating as the
Tivoli team was clearly instructed to be as brutal as possible
in order to secure a victory.
The Ian ‘Pepe’ Goodison
straight right punch to the jaw of Fabian Taylor had him
stretchered off after fifteen minutes without any word, let
alone action from the incompetent officials, this was followed
up by continuous fouls on Jermaine Hue who was spared only by
the inability of the offender Marvin Morgan as he eventually
hurt himself in his last desperate attempt in tumbling over
Hue when pushing him off the field infront of his own bench
and for his final effort he belatedly received a yellow card
in minute 73. 18 year old Luton Shelton was targeted by hitmen
all afternoon and was finally injured in minute 78 when he
tried to score from a melee being kicked after the whistle was
blown, again no action against the offender but a yellow card
shown to Shelton for stepping, he now misses the Jamaica’s
Olympic Squad two match tour of Fort Lauderdale with a swollen
knee. The medical staff hands were filled to capacity with a
hamstring injury to Sean Fraser and bruising to young Lovell
Palmer.
In the end a competitive game
(2-1) spoilt by referee Raymond Pyne.
VILLAGE UNITED UPSET LEADERS HARBOUR VIEW BY 3-2 AT HOME.
A
goalscoring blitz of three goals within eight minutes left the
overall league leaders Harbour View wondering what went wrong
as the three substitutes for Village left their mark on the
proceedings that had Harbour View clearly in front by 2-0
after eighty minutes in the game.
Was it the change of captain
Jermaine Hue, the three replacing attackers for Harbour View
not making as much of an impact as their opponents
substitution (I hardly think so), or maybe the obvious
defensive lapses that has plagued the team from time to time
over the last few seasons, well whatever the coaching staff
unearths later, will not soothe the horrow of defeat inflicted
on all Harbour View well wishers worldwide Sunday afternoon as
the New Year approaches the resolution that such a spectacle
would never repeat itself ever.
The Village United team
exhibited fitness and good teamplay in the initial stages of
the game but the
smooth passing game of Harbour View soon took over leading to
Craig Stewart rounding a defender to slot inside for Jomo
Gordon to hit goalwards at the near post but custodian Earle
again was equal to the task. The corner that followed was
side-footed in by Luton Shelton after 37 minutes. Then after
being provider in the first Craig Stewart returned to score
after his 20 yard spot kick went in when deflected of the head
of a defender in the wall at the 76th minute.
Then the game changed – both
teams made three attacking changes quickly, Harbour View
continued to miss at least six simple goals while Village
putting extra players forward in search of a goal that
eventually came from Gregory Simpson who headed home from a
right sided square. With eight more minutes remaining in the
game Village continued to double-team the flank and the parry
from goalkeeper Grey was met by another lurking midfielder Ian
McAnuff who slammed home twice in minutes 88 and 90 from
similar plays as Village United celebrated the victory Harbour
View looked in a daze after surrendering valuable points, the
game and the leadership of the Premier League as the New Year
comes around.
