<P class=StoryText align=justify>FALMOUTH, Trelawny - Harbour View carved out a 2-1 win over Village at Elliston Wakeland Sports Complex yesterday to maintain their lead in the National Premier League.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Second-half substitute Fabian Taylor scored the decider in the 75th after the home team staged a gallant come back from a half- time deficit.
Kavin Bryan gave Harbour View the lead after two minutes, while Leon Irvin pulled Village level in the 48th.
Harbour View's Lenworth Hyde was pleased with the performance of his team, saying they played a "a disciplined game".
Village coach Fitzroy 'Johnny' Reid noted a positive from the defeat, saying he was pleased with the 30 minutes the team got from Kristopher Stone, who made his debut, coming on for Luke Tate.
Reid described Stone, who played for the Atlanta Silverbacks in the American USL Division One up to two seasons ago, as a "finisher" and said with some more work he should help the team.
After playing catch-up in the first half, Village were the aggressors in the second.
Harbour View got off to a dream start when goalkeeper Elvis Hart spilled a low shot in the second minute and Bryan poked into the goal from two yards.
Village should have leveled soon afterwards but Luke Tate and Troy Smith both missed simple chances within minutes of each other.
