CFU Caribbean club champs honoured
Saturday, December 01, 2007
It was a gala affair for the many proud players, coaches and managers who turned out in all their glory at Monday's formal dinner at the Knutsford Court Hotel in New Kingston to celebrate Harbour View's recent victory in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship.
The occasion was marked by speeches offered by Premier League Clubs' Association (PLCA) chairman, Edward Seaga, whose delightful glance back into football's history told the wonderful story of how the game evolved over centuries beginning with "kicking of the inflated pigs bladder around" without rules to today's associated league in more orderly settings.
Ambassador AB Stewart Stephenson eloquently voiced his praises of the Harbour View's outstanding record of management, discipline and camaraderie.
Main speaker Carvel Stewart outlined his detailed plans going forward into the next round of eight quarterfinalists in March 2008, hoping for a favourable draw.
The objective of winning the CONCACAF Championship for the first time then reaching the World Club Championship Finals in Japan next November, is where the focus is to achieve the ultimate goal in Club football.
Sponsors of the event the PLCA, Jamaica Biscuit Company and the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association were fully represented, along with Premier League sponsors Cash Plus and the club's sponsors St Thomas Credit Co-op Union, Total Gas and the Reggae Boyz Supporters Club.
The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) and the Jamaica Football Referees Association (JFRA), as well as media representatives and Harbour View staff members, plus the wives, husband and girlfriends of the players and managers were all present.
