PREMIER LEAGUE:
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.
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.
