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 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.
