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.
