celebrate his second and winning goal. |
The “Stars of the East” Harbour
View Football Club continued there good start to the Premier
League season with a resounding 3-2 victory over Waterhouse,
lead by a brace from Craig Stewart on his return from the
United States of America.
Two handsome strikes from
distance was the standout feature of a hotly contested game
where both teams went “Hell-for Leather” for a prized victory.
The top of the table encounter reached fever pitch very early
as Stewart slammed a thirty five yard bombshell that kickoff
the party and announced the tone of the battle. Surely this
must be rated as possibly the best goal of the season so far.
Goalkeeper Loxely Ried flew to his left but was successful
only in retrieving the ball rolling back into play after
scorching the back of the net. Only four minutes had elapsed
when the growing crowd buzzed with excitement as Waterhouse
served crosses and squares from every conceivable angle as
heads bobbed up in a desperate attempt to equalise.
A counter-attack from Demar
Phillips was intercepted by Damion Stewart illegally on top of
the eighteen yard box, the resulting freekick deflected
fortunately for Shane Edwards in the six yard box to squeeze
inside the near post and equalise after 26 minutes.
Harbour View rallied and got
the go ahead goal when Sean Fraser’s right-sided freekick
floated over Jomo Gordon’s head and hit a defender to slip
through Reid’s legs and score in minute 37. The half ended
when goalkeeper Reid’s long kickout found Edwards to head on
to marksman Kevin Lamey in minute 45 to stab home past the
advancing goalkeeper Leighton Murray to level the scoreline at
the break.
Four goals already had a
expectant crowd hungry for more.

Harbour
View Cheerleaders |
The female teams Fish Fry now a
regular feature at Harbour View home game along with the
concessions at the bar provided a welcome intermission as the
second half was preceeded by the entertaining Harbour View
Cheerleaders.
While Referee Hughill Thompson
issued cards with a loose abandon threatening to spoil the
game, both teams continued to produce high paced skills that
keep the audience eyes transfixed on the players, until he Red
Carded Damion Stewart for a second bookable offence after 61
minutes.
The wounded ten man Harbour
View found in the midfield and he worked his way past
two defenders to drive home another scorcher from 22 yards out
to lead for the third and final time.
Harbour View re-organised and
consolidated their defensive position while coming close to
scoring late in the game as substitute Nicholas McCreath
slammed a shot goalwards for Ried to bring off a fantastic
acrobatic save but Waterhouse seemed to have lost the will to
compete as the game ended, 3-2.
HARBOUR VIEW COMES FROM BEHIND ONCE AGAIN
TO REGISTER 4-1 VICTORY OVER ARLINGTON FC AT PRISON OVAL.
Under 21 lose 0-2!
UNDER 21:
The opening game saw a very
poor performance from Harbour View who just never seemed
interested in the contest as a smart looking Arlington FC had
their own way all day and duly ran out 2-0 victors with goals
in each half.
PREMIER LEAGUE:
In
what may seem to be a repeat of the of the opening game again
the shot taking on goal was released into the path if an
opponent in the six yard box early in the game again the
striker accepted the gift to lead 1-0 after only six minutes.
The forward this time was ex- Harbour View striker Greg
Gardner who must have felt quite at home as he tapped into a
empty net from three yards out.
Harbour View were good enough
to respond immediately when a corner was headed in by Thomas
Grant for his first Harbour View goal at the back post and two
minutes later in minute eleven another square was not cleared
properly and was duly driven home from close in by Luton
Shelton for a two to one lead.
Stunned by the double blow
Arlington’s goalkeeper fell to the floor in pain to receive
treatment, as his team appeared shell-shocked even after Grant
squared again from the left flank for Shelton to tap home from
two yards out as the halftime beckoned.
Harbour View 3, Arlington 1.
The rout continued in the
second stanza as another goal was added as substitutes
Nicholas McCreath found his new partner Jomo Gordon at the
penalty spot, to drive home the goal. Luton Shelton was gifted
his hatrick when Jermaine Hue’s thirty yards pass split the
defence wide open and his foul was greeted with a penalty
call. The team allowed the eighteen year old to take it but a
brilliant save by the custodian denied him and Harbour View
from adding to the score sheet.
