Harbour View............................................2
Harvey (55th, 90th)
Sporting Central..................................... 2
Wiggan (18th), Gray (44th)
Sporting Central blew a two-goal lead and maximum points against Harbour View drawing 2-2 in their Cash Plus Premier League game at the Harbour View Mini Stadium yesterday.
Sporting Central stunned the Harbour View crowd with first half goals by Karl Wiggan and Hughan Gray in the 18th and 44th minutes respectively, but two penalties by defender Christopher Harvey in the 55th and 90th minutes, salvaged a point for the champions.

Harbour View, starting the day on five points in pole position, have dropped to fifth position with six points and were fortunate to come away with anything from the game.
The Clarendon-based Sporting Central, while leading 2-1, wasted numerous goalscoring opportunities and paid the price for their profligacy in front of goal and a handful of club investors.
Just like rookie Formula One driver, Lewis Hamilton yesterday, they made some rookie mistakes and paid the price. Hamilton lost the World Championship by a point but fortunately for Sporting Central, they will have a lot more time to atone for their mistakes.
The promoted Sporting Central moved up a notch to seventh position on five points, just two behind the leading pack of four teams on seven points.
Portmore United, Seba United, Waterhouse and August Town are tied atop the standing on seven points from four games with just six points seperating top from bottom.
Portmore crushed Tivoli Gardens 3-0 and leapt from seventh position to first with goals from Onandi Lowe, Kevin Deerr and Adrian Reid.
Kevin Williams, coach of Sporting Central, was visibly upset as his team came within a whisker of pulling off the upset of the season and claim another big scalp following their 4-3 thrilling win over Reno last week.
In another game yesterday, Seba blanked St George's 3-0 at Lynch Park.
Teams:
Harbour View - Marvin Mundy, Jermain Taylor, Christopher Harvey, Oneil Smith (Kemeel Wolfe 57th), Robert Scarlett, Donald Stewart, Richard Edwards, Keith Kelly (Jermaine Hue 52nd), Lovel Palmer, Fabian Taylor, Gregg Taylor (Kavin Bryan 51st).
