Penguin Express Heads for the Short Grass County

Ian Nolan slots home an injury time penalty to put Seaford into round two of the LFA Cup at the expense of St Francis

With an idle weekend for the Premiers, Seaford's only fixture on Saturday is in the second round of the LFA Junior Cup, when the travel to Kildare to face Newbridge FC on Saturday night (kick off 7.00pm, Kilcullen Community Centre).

Both sides squeezed through through their first round ties by narrow margins, the hosts eliminating Dunshaughlin Youths from UCFL DIvision 2 following a penalty shoot-out whilst Seaford needed a spot-kick of their own, albeit one taken in the 92nd minute, to secure a 4-3 win over St Francis in a thriller in Inchicore.

It is a third cup tie in a row for the Penguins, and all on the road, following a hugely impressive performance to knock top-flight outfit St Patrick's CY out of the Lanigan Cup last time out.
