KINGSTON, Jamaica—Waterhouse FC continued their resurgence in the Jamaica Premier League after clipping leaders Montego Bay United 1-0 in their second round game played at Drewsland on Monday, despite playing a man short from early in the second half.

It was the second time this season Waterhouse FC were beating MBU after edging them at Jarrett Park in late December, and will host them again on Sunday as the third round gets underway.

A 37th minute penalty conversion from Neron Barrow gave Waterhouse FC the win as they improved their unbeaten run to eight games and overtook defending champions Cavalier SC for fifth place on 40 points.

Waterhouse FC were reduced to 10 men in the 53rd minute when Kvist Paul was sent off.

It was a third straight game without a win for MBU who saw their 11-game unbeaten run end, but they are still ahead with 51 points, three more than Racing United who were 3-0 winners over Harbour View earlier at the Harbour View stadium.

Earlier in the day, Racing United rebounded from their loss to Cavalier SC with a big win over Harbour View in a game that saw three red cards being issued.

Giovanni Cunningham gave Racing United the lead in the 28th minute before Tajay Grant scored a second in the 53rd minute.

Both teams were reduced to 10 men each three minutes later after Rohan Brown of Harbour View and Mikyle Williams of Racing United were ejected.

Dean Andre Thomas, who came off the bench in the 65th minute, scored a third goal for Racing United in the 80th minute to secure full points.

Harbour View’s complement of players was reduced to nine after Demar Rose who went into the game in the 62nd minute was sent off in the 81st minute.
