Double victory over newcomers Naggo Head, in a twelve goals thriller!
The new objective is to WIN the Premier League, as finishing second last season was clearly not good enough.
Under 21:
Harbour View FC 3 Naggo Head 2
What a battle for supremacy it was as both teams spewed high-energy football over the park for ninety breath-taking minutes of continuous attacking. Visitors Naggo Head shot into the lead in minute 30 when the lanky Jermaine Clarke pounced to beat the custodian from close range and hold the lead at halftime.
Captain, Michily Waul equalised from the penalty spot early in the second stanza with only five (5) minutes elapsed. Kashi Schroeter nipped between two defender to deceive the goalkeeper and take the lead three minutes later.
It was all squared at 2-2 when Kennardo Forbes scored for Naggo Head in minute 55.
The winning goal would come in time added on as the drama reached a crescendo. Seven well constructed passes down the left flank ended when Schroeter met the cross and deflected it back into the path of attacking midfielder Damian Anderson who blasted low into the far corner from 23 yards to seal a deserved victory.
New Coaches Max Straw, Andrew Hines along with Manager Robert Lee all jumped up in celebration with the squad as they taste the first victory in their new roles.
PREMIER LEAGUE:
Harbour View FC 4 Naggo Head 3
Sometimes history repeats itself but most times it not immediately…well let’s flashback to yesterday!
Determined to make a positive impression in the big league, the first movement forward to penetrate was cautiously greeted by the Harbour View defence. When the corner arrived at the near-post it caught defenders napping as the more alert Fabian Malcolm headed home from just inside the six yard box to assume the early lead for Naggo Head.
Seven minutes later Nicholas Dodd turned his defender inside out before blasting goalwards from 25 yards on the right a scud-like missile, that swerved, bounced and flew off the newly cut grass to whiz pass the goalkeeper before logding in the net.
Kirk Ramsey was also more aggressive to get onto a loose ball in the area that deflected from a
freekick to him just forward of the penalty spot. He scored to help Naggo Head lead 2-1 at halftime.
Bolting from the starting blocks in the style of Asafa Powell “The Stars of the East” equalised just two minutes into the second half as Kemar Petrekin headed in from a corner. Loxely Thomas grabbed the lead as the blitz
hit a high after just five minutes from the penalty spot as Naggo Head looked all at seas as waves of tactical pressure at pace were brought to bear.
They came crashing down in minute seventy six as debutant Kavin Bryan capped of a night of real industry to score from 13 yards, a most deserving reward that was warmly greeted by the partisan crowd.
Bryan was to later be named the “Most Valuable Player” for Harbour View but not before Kirk Ramsay had his last say again in time added on, as he slipped goalkeeper Michaud Barrett to score in the 90th.
Fabian Malcolm was named the “Most Valuable Player” for Naggo Head. New Coach Lenworth Hyde along with Manager Annmarie Massey all breath a sigh of relief as the first victory in their new roles was enjoyed but
stained by the amount of goals conceded.
