CHAMPIONS HARBOUR VIEW STARTS NEWLY SPONSORED CASHPLUS PREMIER LEAGUE WITH A GOALESS DRAW AT THE COMPOUND!
At home in front of a bumper crowd and a LIVE Television audience the “Stars of the East” failed to shine as the newly promoted St. George’s SC played a heavily defensive formation.
The CEO of the CASHPLUS Group Mr. Carlos Hill and Captain, Horace Burrell were special guests at the stadium.
Posting no fewer than eight men behind the ball for the ninety minutes to salvage a precious point away from home against the Champions is a great start for the elevated team but not for the title-holders who were slowly into stride.
Captain, Lovel Palmer came closest to scoring mid way the second half, when his scorching shot hit the inside of the upright but came back into play to be scrambled away by the frantic defense.
Before that striker Greg Taylor’s shot and a header were well parried for corners by goalkeeper Ralston Robinson in the first half. Fabian Taylor shot wide twice and Rafiek Thomas should have converted but his miscued chip shot fell safely into the waiting arms of Robinson as the second half started. . Substitute Loxely Thomas shot fiercely from the edge of the area but as Kavin Bryan scooped his pass across the face of the goal from Robinson’s rebound no one was at the far post to tap as the minutes ticked away.
St. George’s never looked threatening in attack but Harbour View’s goal-scoring machine had not clicked into action as yet even with Kemar Pertrekin entered the fray late in the game.
Fabian Taylor would scrambled a tight shot goalwards that the retreating defender booted two metres from the goal-line. Taylor would kick wide again from an acute angle inside the penalty box to the left and when defender Christopher Harvey shot high from 20 yards it signaled the last hope of victory had flown before Referee, Courtney Campbell ended the encounter 0-0.
Next week Harbour View FC travels to Reno at St. Elizabeth Technical High School.
CASHPLUS Voted Harbour View FC’s left back Ricardo Smith, the “Most Valuable Player” of the game. His trophy was presented to him by Marketing Officer,Shelly Anne Weeks.

Wha mi say, Portmore St. Catherine, No question Askin!!
Harbour View cant win this year. I watch the match and they were far from impressive. They suffering from coach Lenny Hyde's ego. He is always trying to get in the limelight so he normally makes some crazy decisions for attention. Yesterday the man start him leading goal-scorer on the bench. I didn't even see Hue on the bench and the man didn't even give Kieth Kelly a run out. The man put on three Rux and left Kelly a siddung. Ammaguana was in the stands. Lenny Hyde just different. THANK GOD HE LEFT PORTMORE! Anyways mi team off to a flying start so mi nuh business bout Harbour View.
