Harbour View edged Reno FC 2-1 to finish the season in style and in the process broke the record for the most points tally in the second season of the Wray and Nephew National Premier League (NPL) league format.
Harbour View secured their 22nd win from 33 games with eight draws and only three losses to finish on 74 points, five more than Waterhouse's tally of 69 last season.
Potent strike force
Harbour View's Fabian Taylor and Kavin Bryan — the most potent strike force in the league — netted in the 25th and 51st minutes for their 15th and 17th goals respectively.
Reno's Ricardo Scott banged in his 14th goal of the season as the Westmoreland-based team finished in third on 56 points after faltering badly in the third round to finish 18 points behind the winner.
Portmore United which finished second on 64 points, edged Seba 2-1 courtesy of two goals by Oneil McDonald in the 66th and 90th minutes.
Seba's Calvert Loudon pulled one back in the 93rd minute as his team ended their campaign in 10th position on 33 points.
Meanwhile Irvino English will be $25,000 richer after copping the top goalscorer title with 18 goals for the season.
English headed home in the 72nd minute as Waterhouse blanked Boys' Town 3-0 at Drewsland with Andre Hickling and Sean Coleman netting the others.
Waterhouse, the dethroned champion, grabbed their 13th win of the season and finished in fourth position on 52 points, 12 less than they did last season.
Boys' Town suffered their 13th loss of the season and ended a disappointed ninth on 36 points and failed to qualify for the eight-team President's Cup.
Over at Catherine's Hall in St James, relegated home team Wadadah came from behind twice to edge August Town 3-2 with two goals in two minutes.
Devon Haughton gave August Town the lead in the 27th minute before Damion Chambers equalised for Wadadah in the 33rd.
Andrew Davis once again gave the visitors the lead in the 62nd minute, but Wadadah finally showed some guts — something that has been missing all season — to secure the win.
Rohan Reid with his 5th goal of the season levelled the score in the 87th minute before Markino Gillings grabbed the winner in the 89th for his sixth goal of the campaign.
Wadadah with only their sixth win of the season ended on 26 points and will be looking forward to parish football next season.

Christopher Allen, for the second game running, scored for Naggo Head in the 53rd minute as his team finished bottom of the 12-team table.
Naggo Head with a record of five wins, six draws and 22 defeats finished on 21 points and are back in the St. Catherine parish league.
