Harbour View will go into their final game of their Canada pre-season tour today against a Caribbean All-Star team with the confidence of a victory already under their belt.
Harbour View's first win of the pre-season came under tough circumstances on Sunday, after Loxley Thomas slotted home a 58th minute penalty to give his team a 1-0 win over the Serbian Eagles at Centennial Park.
According to reports out of Toronto, it was Thomas himself who had earned the penalty kick after he had unleashed a rocket of a shot that was handled by Serbian defender Marko Medic.
Going down to 10-men in the 84th minute after Desmond Breakenridge was ejected for a second caution, Harbour View were forced to concede possession to the Eagles and play a tough defensive game to come away with a victory against a team that hadn't lost a game all season.
The first win of the season was also important for Harbour View's new coach, Lenworth Hyde.
Hyde, who is enjoying his second stint with the 'Stars of the East', seems to be settling in well and a win in a second game for the young team could prove invaluable to the team's confidence in him going into the first games of the National Premier League in September.
The Jamaicans' assignment at Centennial Park this evening will begin at 8 o'clock local time.
The team is scheduled to return to the island tomorrow.</DIV>
