HARBOUR VIEW EMERGES WITH STUNNING 4-0 VICTORY OVER ST. MARY CONTENDERS STAR COSMOS AT HOME!

After going down to a disappointing 3-0 loss recently to Arnett Gardens in a closely contested game where plagued by extensive injuries, absence through national duties and poor defending made a mockery of the real game. “The Stars of the East” cruised to a comfortable comeback to trounce bottom of the league team Star Cosmos who were have their best period by not losing in the third round as against the poor form of “the View” in not winning in the round. All that changed quickly as players took on role responsibilities in the absence of the injured leading goal-getter Fabian Taylor to register their first goals for the season led by Nicholas McCreath with two strikes, Greg Gardner with the opener and Daniel Shaw returning from injury in October 2003 to top it off late in the game. The presence of physical trainer Neville Myton and assistant coach Calvert Fitzgerald helped rejuvenate the sluggish form of the team.

Changes in the starting line-up significantly signaled a more purposeful effort from the outset where custodian Leon Grey re-emerged between the sticks, National defender and captain Damian Stewart returned after an outstanding performance against Uruaguay, midweek, Clifton Wuagh back from injury, Christopher Harvey returns from national Under 23 Olympic qualifiers in Mexico, Jermaine Hue restated his presence after much acclaim in the national tour in China accompanied there by promising young talent Lovell Palmer while Greg Gardner partnered McCreath upfront abandoning the one-man attack instituted in the former game.

Donald Stewart assisted Greg Gardner to open the scoring after 28 minutes when he rounded the goalkeeper, then Jermaine Hue found McCreath to improve the scoreline in minute 42 to go the break with a 2-0 advantage. Many forays into the opponents penalty area bore no fruit as shots from McCreath and a sizzling swerving drive from 23 yards out by Hue slammed the bar, Scarlett, Hue and Gardner hit wide and Stewart headed over the crossbar from a corner all meant the score should have increased in the first half.

Similar dominance in the second half continued as the improved physical preparation showed but lapses by Sean Fraser, McCreath, Gardner, Harvey, Stewart and Scarlett all added to the scoreline being lesser than impressive until McCreath from a Harvey cross then Daniel Shaw worked his way through the area to finish off a strong game blemished by ineffective finishing to remain joint second in the league with Portmore United who defeated Constant Spring by 1-0.

The Under 21 team leap-frogged over Star Cosmos into third place overall by securing a 1-0 win courtesy of the returning injured national Under 23 striker Luton Shelton in minute 63.

HARBOUR VIEW LETS IN LATE GOAL AS RENO RECOVERS IN 1-1 DRAW.
 

PREMIER LEAGUE:

The ever reliable Fabian Taylor made his mark on the score sheet for the sixth consecutive Premier League game when he hit home a volley from the top of the box past National goalkeeper Aaron Lawrence in minute 41.

Good goalkeeping in addition to inaccurate finishing caused the scoreline to remain at 1-0 at the break as both Reno and Harbour View attackers each shot wide twice from close-in from difficult angles.

Substitute Delvano Brown came on just before the halftime interval to alter all that when he seemingly duplicated Taylors’ strike from the exact same spot in minute 63 to level the score and give Reno a share of the points on their trip back to Westmoreland.

Taylor,Craig Stewart, Rohan Afflick and Dino Williams all failed to open the gap between both teams as they tried to secure victory that in the end proved elusive, while Reno counter-attacked twice to evoke fears of losing three valuable points at the business end of the season.

Harbour View slipped to third overall on joint 44 points with Portmore United (+20) but with a lesser goal difference (+17). Tivoli leads on 48 points.

UNDER 21:

Kemar Petrekin continued his unslaught on the junior league goalscoring title as he again scored to take his tally to 15 in the record breaking time of 18 seconds.

He was supported by goals from midfielder Anthony Christie and Mervin Miller, his first for the club since joining within the new transfer window during January 2004.

They remain in fourth position overall on 27 points.
