OMAR DALEY'S sending off in the 35th minute didn't make much difference to Hazard who maintained their composure to defeat Waterhouse 2-1 in their Wray & Nephew National Premier League football match at the Constant Spring field yesterday.
Waterhouse failed to capitalise on their advantage and, like perfect hosts, generously sent their opponents back to Clarendon with three points.
"We had really come for just one point," said Hazard's coach, Lenworth Hyde, "but the team plan worked better than we expected and we came out on top."
Waterhouse were dominant for much of the first half but were unable to realise a goal even after Daley got his red card.
Unperturbed, Hazard perfectly executed Hyde's plan and in the 69th minute was rewarded for their efforts when Reon Nelson scored.
Irvino English headed in the equaliser from a Patrick Reid cross in the 83rd minute but Waterhouse's celebration was short-lived as Woolery Wolfe made good on a combination between himself, Dwayne Ford and Nelson five minutes later.
A cold Heineken was the only thing able to calm Waterhouse's upset manager, Errol Sharpe, after the game.
"We lost Sunday's game because of the same defensive errors and we came back and did the same things today (yesterday). We should have regrouped after we got the equaliser but for some reason that didn't happen and I'm very, very disappointed with the result.
"Impatient. We were impatient that's why we lost. We had an advantage and we didn't use it and we were too focussed on trying to score with one touch. I'm really disappointed," he said.
Hyde ran on to the field at the sound of the final whistle, congratulating his players on what he described "a job well done".
Said the former national representative: "They did a very good job and this was as a result of a lot of hard work and discipline. The players have consistently been giving 100 per cent in training and having translated it to the game, this is the result.
"The only way to describe their performance is to say this is a job well done," he said.
Meanwhile, Harbour View, with goals from Fabian Taylor, Daniel Shaw and Nicholas McCreath, came away 3-0 winners over newcomers Bull Bay in the 'Battle of the East' at Harbour View Mini Stadium.
Taylor netted in the 14th minute to give Harbour View a 1-0 lead at the half. Nine minutes after the break, Shaw made it 2-0 for Harbour View.
After several attacks, Bull Bay could not find their way through to goal and were buried when McCreath sealed the issue in the 74th minute with a beautiful strike.
With the win, Harbour View maintained their fifth-place position with 10 points from five games along with defending champions Arnett (three games) and Rivoli.
Hazard lead the 12-team league with 12 points. Village (11), idle Tivoli (six), Waterhouse, Bull Bay, Constant Spring and Seba (four each), Reno (two) and Wadadah (one) complete the standings.
