Harbour View clinch Club Championship.
By: Joel Bailey (Newsday).[/size]

Trinidad and Tobago midfielder Kerry Baptiste put the “Eastern Lions” Joe Public ahead, in the 16th minute, before Harbour View of Jamaica replied in the 21st and 23rd to win the CFU Club Championship yesterday. The victory guarantees Harbour View a place in the 2008 CONCACAF Champions’ Cup.
Both teams kept the same line-ups from their semi-final matches, which were contested on Wednesday. Yesterday’s final was at the Marvin Lee Stadium at Macoya. Baptiste put the hosts in front when he got in front of defender Ricardo Smith and tucked his left-footed effort past the left hand of goalkeeper Dwayne Miller after Kendall Jagdeosingh’s cross rolled across the face of goal. The Jamaicans responded with a pair of quick-fire goals to tilt the balance clearly in their favour, both featuring the trio of Jermaine Hue, Kavin Bryan and Fabian Taylor.
On the edge of the penalty box, Hue teed up Bryan who, in turn, spotted an unmarked Fabian Taylor inside the box and the forward, in one motion, turned and drilled his right-footer past the motionless Joe Public goalkeeper Alejandro Figueroa.
Hue shrugged off a lame challenge from Joe Public midfielder Silas Spann and spotted Bryan who, with only Figueroa to beat, slipped the ball to his strike partner Fabian Taylor to poke home. Nelson came agonisingly close to tying the scores when, with two defenders on him, his right-footed effort trickled past a bemused Miller and cannoned off the uprights.
Harbour View captain Christopher Harvey was sent off by referee Roberto Moreno of Panama in the 56th minute for his second bookable offence, but Joe Public never capitalised on the numerical advantage.
In the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup, Harbour View will join defending title-holders Pachuca CF of Mexico, DC United of the United States, CD Motagua of Honduras, Costa Rica’s Deportivo Saprissa and a club apiece from Mexico, the US and Central America.

Jamaican club Harbour View captured the 2007 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship yesterday evening with a 2-1 win over home team bmobile Joe Public at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya. Harbour View now advance as the sole Caribbean representatives at the 2008 CONCACAF Club Championships.
Public scored first through the irrepressible Kerry Baptiste in the 16th minute but two minutes of magic from veteran Jamaican midfielder Jermaine Hue decided the contest. Hue created Harbour's spectacular equaliser for striker Fabien Taylor in the 21st minute and both men combined again for a Kevin Bryan finish in the 23rd minute.
Harbour View were reduced to 10 men ten minutes after the interval, while Baptiste and Public's Jamaican-born striker Roen Nelson both hit the post. But the Jamaicans were resolute and CONCACAF president and Public owner Jack Warner was forced to part with the CFU trophy after the final whistle.

I heard that Jerry Hue totally destroyed Joe Public defense, making them look like 3 yr olds. Boy I tell you, Hue is the best midfielder in the Caribbean(I said in, not from so dont shit up unnuhself bout Latapy please) right now without a doubt but gets alot of fight out here. I'm sure if he was Trini you would cherish him. He would start every game for your national side. This dude never got his fair shot for JA. I dont know how a player can play well for his country and still get left out, like the time he destroy Trinidad defense in the Carib Cup. Cant ask for more from a player like that.

Good Job Jamrock

[Trini]

Hue? Best in the caribbean?
I think some haitian and cubans will have their own opinion to add to this, I saw some very good displays from midfielders last copa caribe when haiti won.

Hue is decent, but he aint up to Yorke, who at 36 is still very effective.
A player like Chris Birchall will give hime the fight of his life in the middle of the park, giving him no room whatsoever.
And if its just Hue's ability to play attacking football, I dont think yu can mention his name in the same sentence as Carlos Edwards.
Some might argue that a fit Otis Seaton who had a wonderful WC qualifying campaign and decent world cup is still the best midfielder based in the caribbean right now.

I have seen Jermaine Hue play quite a bit, he is not as magical as Whitmore, nor as technically good as Andy Williams.
I would rate him on par with a Kerwyn Jemmott, who like Hue, has suffered from what many percieve as bias when it comes to national colours.
Jemmot is obviously very gifted, just like Hue, but they lack that extra something that makes them really stand out on a bigger stage.
I hope he comes good, cause Ja will need him for the qualifiers.

Congrats to Harbour View, job very well done. A needed boost for Captain Burrelli. Hope they represent the region well.

They have proved yet again, that like international ball, there is very very little between trinidad and jamaican teams...
As meh jamaican pardna was saying yesterday, jamaica could get licks from every single team in asia, and rank all below 200 and be 100 million in debt...if they play Trinidad, you can bet yuh bottom dollar, they will beat us.
And until we start back beating them consistently at senior level, there is not much argument I could give him on that topic.

Notice I said IN in the caribbean, no need to talk about Yorke or Edwards. They dont play for a Caribbean club riight now. I would never say he is as magical as Whitmore was, no one in the caribbean other than Latapy can compare to Whitmore in his prime. Otis WHO? Where is he? He plays football?

The last part of your post is spot on. No matter how bad we are doing, whenever we play Trinidad, it brings out the best in us. If Cayman Islands beat us today, we'll beat Trinidad tomorrow.

I wouldnt go as far as say Hue is the best midfielder in the caribbean, I would say he is definately one of the better ones in the area of ball handling/passing. His downfall has always been his work-rate, and that is perhaps the most critical area when you are a midfielder. On his day, he is as good as a Valderrama(IMO), but when he is off, he is just an ordinary player.  Former Brazilain and Jamaica coach Lazaroni stated that Hue was as good as any top-rated midfielder that he has coached, in terms of his ball handling skills, but commented that the player was lazy.

My personal pick for best midfielder in teh caribben - Whitmore! I know Latapy was a boss (saw him play in his days at PMU), but whitmore holds special place in my heart. And his two world cup finals goals counts for something too.

The CONCACAF Executive Committee met in New York City, USA, for the second and last time in 2007 today.

The Executive Committee received reports of recent, current and upcoming CONCACAF events including a review of the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup™. That tournament, the first to involve 12 CONCACAF teams, was confirmed as being the most successful Gold Cup to date with record TV ratings and the highest total attendances in Gold Cup history.

The Committee also congratulated Canada on hosting a successful FIFA Under-20 World Cup. With a total attendance of 1.19 million (over 52 games) Canada narrowly beat the record for the best-attended FIFA U-20 World Cup set by another CONCACAF country, Mexico in 1983, which had 1.15 million fans attending (albeit over fewer games, 32).

Among the most important items under consideration was a detailed proposal from the CONCACAF Secretariat to end the existing club championship, the CONCACAF Champions Cup™, and introduce a new Champions League-style annual event. The proposed new competition, which will see 24 teams participating, received the approval of the Executive Committee and will commence in August 2008 with the first CONCACAF Champions League winner to be crowned in May of 2009. Therefore, the current CONCACAF Champions Cup™ will cease to exist after its next edition, taking place from February-May 2008, has concluded. Further details on the new competition, including qualification procedures, format and game calendar will be revealed at a launch event to be held on a date to be announced in due course.

CONACAF’s Executive Committee approved Guatemala as the host of the CONCACAF Futsal Championship in 2008 and also confirmed that, in April 2008, Mexico will host the Women’s qualification event for the Olympic Games, Beijing 2008. As has already been announced, USA will host the men’s qualification event, the CONCACAF U23 Championship, in March 2008.

In other matters the Executive Committee credited the referee development work currently being conducted in Central America while acknowledging that steps need to be put in place at the national association level to help ensure referees surpass FIFA fitness standards when called-upon to officiate at international events. The committee also highlighted the need to address the continued development of teams and players at the youth level throughout the Confederation.

The Committee received reports from the various administrative departments of CONCACAF including a proposal to revamp CONCACAF’s Committee structure. The Executive Committee also agreed to write to member associations inviting proposals to host the 2009 CONCACAF Congress and acknowledged that both Honduras and Panama had already expressed interest in hosting the event.
