 So we begin this abbreviated version of the sportsmax zone with football from the Jamaican top flight It was Monday night joy for Harbourview who secured their first victory of the Reign Nevew Jamaica Premier League season and it was emphatic as they spanked newly promoted Limehall Academy 3-0 at the National Stadium Eastfield a brace from former Glen Muir High standout David Reed and a well-taken goal by Shaquille Bradford in the first half were enough to move Harbourview to 11th on seven points two points Ahead of Limehall who are 13th with four. Let's first hear from Limehall's head coach Vanny Clark Who ruled his teams slow start to the contest? We got out of the blocks really really slow We didn't get going at all in that first half and it didn't help that you can't see that after two minutes And then you know quickly thereafter you're down too nearly you're always going to be behind the eight ball And so thought that we didn't handle ourselves well in the first half second half was about Limiting the damage and I'm you know trying to get some positives from it other than the second half the intensity was a lot better substitutions really helped and You know we really managed that period a lot better than we did, but of course, you know You're already down 3-0. Sorry. It's it doesn't help. It doesn't do much But you know we'll take the positives. Yeah, Vanny Clark here and here is Harbourview's national award-winning coach Ludlow Bernard The game was gonna be characterized by the The weather elements the breeze probably played a factor But the longer the game went Then you could say we took a photo. I forgot a bit complacent, you know And I'm probably ruin the fact that you would have allowed Limehall One and two looking and the fact that on the other end of the pitch Weren't clinical enough and good with our decision making Well the night continued to be unkind to the Premier League newcomers as Waterhouse FC smashed 10 man Treasure Beach by four goals to one and Ending a four-game winless run as Treasure Beach remained 12th on just four points a brace for matter the match Andre Fletcher along with goals from Javane Bryan and Lorenzo Lewin spearheaded Waterhouse's victory Assistant coach of Treasure Beach Fitzroy Ambrusley shared his thoughts on the defeat We wanted a win. We were fighting to get back in the last minute and then we came out in the second half continuing the same Pattern but to be We lost out in the last couple minutes, which is a red card and in afterwards now we Still fight, but it wasn't there for us Yeah, Nikoi Christian who bagged two assists on the night was loaded for his attacking prowess by the Waterhouse assistant coach Damien Gordon I think in training I've been working on that free kick. I guess one day we will see it Overall, I like the leadership quality from him and also in terms of the overall performance I'm also impressed with Damien Bins as well and that goal from Elvis that didn't came my word It would have been a world of course definitely, but I mean in in truth We are growing, you know, we have some obstacles and we also have some some setbacks some challenges But we have to continue to work on it So what a house are now sitting fourth with 15 points and joining us in studio to discuss action from match week 10 is our sportsmax Analyst Chris Taylor Chris we will in a moment talk about what happened on Sunday But let's deal with the Monday night matches first Waterhouse and Harbourview haven't been having particularly strong starts to the season But with the good wins last night. Yeah, excellent win Let's I mean with Harbourview an excellent first half as well I thought Lyme Hall who have been well organized throughout the season a lot of the matches We have seen just weren't that yesterday last night. I think they struggled I don't think there was enough communication in the back line and the structure was Was something that that that Harbourview really tore apart and Harbourview took the first half away from them good goals. Yeah, great to see David Reed Has been coming off the bench a lot gotta start on this occasion and and made the most of it With two goals one off the head and then went one with his well-known left foot But yeah, Lyme Hall You heard Vanny you heard it You heard Vanny Clark saying that he thought they came into the half the second half patterns one I think Harbourview took their foot off the accelerator actually and tried to just control the tempo of the game Didn't push as much for the fourth goal Which was a bit of a surprise to me considering that they have been struggling for goals Generally Harbourview and as you said, this is just their first win of the season But Shaquille Bradford continues to be so potent up front as you said six goals In in as many matches and you know, he's really going from strengths to strengths I think you know just a partner for him is probably what's needed for Harbourview to really do damage Waterhouse on the other hand had gone almost 370 minutes without a goal and then scored in the last minute against Portmore in that In that one-all tie and then came into their own very well in this match I really I mean for a lot of the game. It was closer than the scoreline seems I think Treasure Beach battled well for the first 60 to 70 minutes It was 2-1 then the red card came and then Waterhouse Clinical finishes Andre Fletcher and company and just took it away from them But I'm a spirited performance by Treasure Beach And so I I look at the Treasure Beach team and I think that they could survive in this league based on their Their mindset their resilience and their fight, but yeah waterhouse back to goalscoring ways Yeah, um, what's Harbourview's problem though astonishing that a good team like Harbourview has Waited so long for the first win over the season and every time I see Ludlow Bernard in a post-match interview. He looks miserable And let me tell you he was leading 2-0 and I think he realized at that point that look This is an opportunity for us to take the game totally away from Lyme Hall And he was off his bench very animated quarreling with his players and he was leading 2-0 because I think he realized That what has been happening for Harbourview this season is that they have had some real defensive Errors and it's so surprising because as you said this team has been together for some time, especially the back line three season defenders you're talking about Hardin Talbot and Brackenridge, so they have been around for some time But yet the the cohesiveness not there as we are used to and it has cost them But at 2-0 he was up off his bench got the third and then he relaxed Yeah utilizing youngsters Chris is nothing new for teams like Harbourview And Cavalier who we've seen win the Premier League with very young units But are we seeing more than ever before players between the age of let's say 17 and 22 doing well in the Jamaica Premier League? Getting opportunities I Doing well is relative not looking totally out of place. I'll agree with you with that I think more opportunities, especially the fact that now with so much television involved We have a lot of our players Getting exposure outside of Jamaica so going away not necessarily to the English Premier League or Serie A Even though we've now finally had a player there, but to some of the lesser leagues as well Professional opportunity so with that it brings gaps I think in a team structure and has allowed for a lot of these players to get opportunities Also bearing bearing in fact that a lot of these coaches also coach at the high school level so they know these players very well So are you suggesting that you're not completely impressed with what you are seeing from the youngsters despite the push To have more and more of them play in the JPL? I am impressed with the fact that they are getting there and not looking out of place So they are managing the level as to whether they are setting the place or like no I don't think it's got to that. So it's a totally different level. Obviously, you're not playing against the adult male I think the expectations sometimes maybe a little bit too high But a lot of them have come in and done admirably David Reed has taken a while to find his foot in now finally gets two goals He played for what the Chapelton maroons last season So some of these players and when you look at even some of the young players who have come straight out of school They think of you know doing atkinson who was at who is that Cavalier and was away on loan and Trayvon Reed for example, you think what these players are so young they've come straight out of high school No, they have been playing for two or three seasons before they've really started putting together a number So it does take a while But so Adrian Reed who is still in school. I saw good and get an opportunity as well for Cavalier Alex if you're good. Yeah, and yeah Adrian Reed has been playing for a couple seasons up to last year. Adrian Reed was still playing in the Colts under 16 league in Jamaica So and as I said doesn't look out of place But by no means you would say they are in the top 10 of Premier League players But I think that will take a while. It's good to see them getting an introduction and I think in terms of You know enhancing their pro career that will help Let's go back to one Sunday's matches now because Mount Pleasant for only the second time in their history They had back-to-back losses mid-season last season. I think too. Well, waterhouse was one of the teams that beat them I think maligns, but since they started playing 2019 They haven't had back-to-back losses apart from that one I just mentioned and this one here having said that they're still leading any words for Mount Pleasant and their coach Temple with more well in talking to Theodore He doesn't seem overly concerned if you think two seasons ago, I know Mount Pleasant did fall shot on the Wally Downs There was a they had gone eight or nine matches I think it was without defeat and then all of a sudden they went through a bad road and In any league across the world you have situations like that You look at even Manchester City in the English Premier League. They're going through a bad route So I'm not surprised that Mount Pleasant will have a bad segment. Yes, if you want to see but it's just a stutter I think so. I think they're both but I think the quality of their team and the depth of their squad They will they will eventually get it right, but kudos to Lin Faldix and and very united. Yeah That was an upset big big upset result Wasn't just before we go though a quick comment on on Tivoli and and Justin Dunn and his goal scoring form I think he's at a goal per match at the moment, which is Remarkable no, we're in world football players score better than a goal per match Well, Harry Kane has 14 matches so far. Well, that's not the norm Bappé and all of the leading scorers Holland is not at a goal per match and done has a goal per match at the moment Particularly he didn't score Sunday though. No, but he's doing very well at nine goals so far The leading goalscorer in the league and to think that he's just 20 years of age just in done He another one of the youngsters another Didn't actually play at the high school level because COVID interfered was a way for a while It was on the books at Kingston College, but then COVID came and disrupted his his progress there But last season only scored two goals. Yes, and to think that of how well he's doing now I mean, it's remarkably his progress, but Tivoli Well, basically the same squad they had last year So Jerome wait obviously getting in the minds of these players and doing what he does Well, he knows how to win titles and he has them believing and so far Tivoli scoring a lot of goals and and getting the wins Yeah, as usual the rare nephew Jamaica Premier League exciting and it's on sports max every weekend and on a Monday night as well And they are from time to time midweek matches as well Chris, thanks for stopping by to talk to us about there's a pleasure ran nephew Jamaica Premier League We have more to come on the sportsmax zone after the break
