Harbour View won their third Jamaican Premier League title after defeating Boys' Town 2-1 on Wednesday night. That result, coupled with Tivoli Gardens' 2-1 loss at St. George SC, gives the Stars of the East a seven-point lead with two matches to play. Harbour View have been the best organized and balanced side in Jamaican football this season, and overcame the loss of their best goalkeeper (Dwayne Miller) and striker (Lovel Palmer) to overseas clubs to pull away in the final stage. The junior teams also had very good seasons as the U-15, U-17, and U-21 won their respective league titles. It's a shame that they won't be appearing in CONCACAF competition anytime soon.
At the bottom of the table, outgoing champions Portmore United drew 0-0 with Arnett Gardens and Rivoli United beat August Town 3-2, which give Portmore and Rivoli a huge boost in their drive to maintain their Premier League status.
There's more reaction from the new champions at the Jamaica Gleaner website.
