Maestros Live Up to Expectation!
Yesterday's NPL clash between league-leaders Harbour View and also-ran Seba turned out to be a treat for afficionados of flair as midfield maestro, Jermaine Hue of HVFC and 1998 World Cup maestro, Theodore Whitmore, entertained the crowd with scintilating dribbles and passes. It was Hue who started early, and when he crossed for Kemeel (Zidane)Wolfe to one-time a shot into the back of the net, you knew you were in for a peach of a match from the former national player.
Hue picked it up a notch in the second half and continued to pirouette and glide pass defenders, setting up opportunities for the Stars of the East.
Whitmore took a while to remind the crowd of his legendary status and why he should not be written off just yet. After a quiet first half where passes went askew, he came alive in the second half and wowed the HV fans with deft dribbles and passes. He almost scored a conciliatory goal for Seba when he slipped by a defender and unleashed a torrid left-footer that skimmed the outside of the left upright.
"A suh him did score a World Cup, y'knuh!", said someone beside me.
Hue continued to walk through the Seba defence and after 4 goals safely in the bag for HVFC decided to reward himself with a goal. His best effort came from a right-sided cross but his goalward shot with his right foot was blocked on the line.
All in all, it was a good day at the Compound yesterday.
