ALTHOUGH HARBOUR View's lead has been cut to four points by Reno, coach Lenworth Hyde doesn't think they are his side's main challengers right now.

"Everybody," Hyde said when quizzed as to which team he fears right now. "We just have to accumulate all the points that we can. Every game is important."

But Hyde knows that Reno will be a difficult opponent to shake off when the third round starts.

"They must be a good team to go to Ferdie Neita and beat Portmore and they are playing well. We just have to go out there and perform on the day because Reno are a very good team and they can beat you at any time. That's why they are in second place," Hyde said.

Harbour View are on 47 points after playing to a 0-0 draw with Tivoli Gardens in their Wray and Nephew National Premier League game at the Compound on Monday night.

Reno moved to 43 points after clipping Portmore 1-0 and still have 43 minutes to play against Boys' Town in an unfinished game.

Although garnering only one point at home, Hyde was satisfied with his team's performance, especially as it kept a clean sheet.

Said Hyde: "It was a very good game for both teams. We got the easier chances, but the greatest thing about this game is that we didn't give up any goals. We have being giving up goals all season, but the defence and the goalkeeper played well."

Tivoli Gardens, playing to their third consecutive draw, remain in sixth position on 30 points and are finding goalscoring difficult at the moment.

Worried man

In eight games since the start of the year they have scored just four times and coach Calvert Fitzgerald is a worried man.

"We are going through a little situation where we are not getting the ball into the back of the net. Defensively we are doing well, conceding only six goals for the round. But we are not matching it on the offensive end," Fitzgerald said.

Nevertheless, he was pleased with his team's performance in gaining a point away from home against the leaders.

"A point away from home is not a bad result seeing that Harbour View are the leaders. Going there and getting a point is good. Reno went there and lost, also Waterhouse. So it's not a bad performance," Fitzgerald said.
