swung from end to end . However, Harbour View soon leveled the
score with a beauty of a free kick by Jermie Lynch that
comprehensively beat Waterhouse custodian Robert Johnson in the
59th min. Sensing that the game may well shift in their favour,
as they did in the come from behind against Meadhaven united the
previous year, Harbour View threw everything in to the attack.

swung back in the Firemen’s favour as Harbour View Damion Lowe
was ejected in the 67th min for a second bookable offence.
Midfield general Ashani Walker picked up a pass from a counter
attack and shunted a defense splitting pass to the competition’s

slammed the ball into the roof of the net from a pass from
