Weekend Preview: 24 August

The Majors look to for a second consecutive win to start the season when they host Verona at Rockfield Park (Saturday, 12.00pm ko).

Both sides were promoted from Major 1B together, but whereas Seaford made a confident start by beating Sacred Heart in their opener, the Coolmine outfit lost to the same opponent in their first match, before losing a two-goal lead to draw 4-4 with Drumcondra on Thursday evening. 

Last season, there was little to choose between the two sides in their two league meetings, with Seaford coming from behind to secure a 2-1 win at Rockfield before teh northsiders got their own back by denting Seaford's promotion chances with a 2-1 win of their own in the return fixture.

It'll be a quick turnaround for Burnsie's boys, who travel to face Columbas Rovers on Monday (ALSAA, 6.30pm) on the same evening as the Premiers host Pegasus St James (Rockfield Park, 6.45pm).
