( l - r ) English, Lamey

Striker Kevin Lamey is a big reason why Waterhouse are climbing the points table rapidly in the Digicel Premier League.

Lamey, the player 'Firehouse' fans affectionately call 'King' Lamey, scored twice, in the 49th and 88th minutes in Waterhouse's 4-1 drubbing of cellar dwellers August Town on Sunday at the Waterhouse Mini Stadium, bringing his tally to five goals in four matches.

Waterhouse captain Irvino English also scored a double in the match (a penalty in the 62nd and in the 81st) and have scored three goals in four matches. He is also a main part of the team's recovery.

August Town's Jermaine Simpson gave the visitors an early lead at the sixth minute, which they held until the half-time break.

Foul play

However, August Town suffered a severe blow when they lost a player, Mervin Miller, by way of a red card. He was sent off by referee Karl Tyrell in time-added in the first half for serious foul play.

The win pushed Waterhouse to 13 points from 10 matches, with the team accumulating those points in their last five games.

August Town sit at the bottom of the standings on five points.

English believes Lamey is on top of his game.

"Lamey is finding his goalscoring form and that is only good for us and good for himself also. We just want to take it one game at a time. Hopefully, we will be where we want to be at the end of the season," English said.

"We needed the three points. We haven't had a good season so far, but at the middle of the round the coach (Geoffrey Maxwell) asked us to win our last six games and we have won four and drawn one and we have one more to go," he added. "I think the team is gelling and the love is definitely back into the team."

Maxwell was pleased with his team's second-half performance.

"In the second-half we settled down and went for our possession and passing game, which gave us some improvements. We got a couple of goals and we hit the bar a few times.

"The second-half is more of the type of football I know Waterhouse are capable of playing," he added.

Maxwell also gave credit to August Town.

"I have to give credit to August Town because they were playing with 10 men and playing against a Waterhouse team that is interchanging," he said.

August Town's coach, Calvert Fitzgerald, thought the red card made the difference.

"We were leading 1-0 at the half and we got an unfortunate red card and everything went downhill from there," Fitzgerald said.
