LSL Saturday Major 1Seaford made it five wins on the bounce - every one of them away from home - with a clinical display in County Kildare.
Leixlip made a bright start and tested Oisin Geoghegan three times in the first seven minutes. First, dangerman Alex Akinrintoyo dribbled purposefully at the Seaford defender and land in Zac O'Sullivan, who was denied by a smart Geoghegan parry, before Akinrintoyo himself twice tested the big stopper, who was at his impervious best The game had a frantic tempo, and at the other end Ian Daly found Ryan Scollard with a brilliant pass, but Jamie Muddiman got down to make the save, before Jamie McCaul hooked a cross to the back post, where Fionn Nally was unable to force it home from a tight angle. Alex Brady had a great opening for the hosts but miscued his finish and the breathless first half ended scoreless. The Penguins established more control of the game after the break, and Nally eventually made the breakthrough, finishing from close range age Scollard saw his effort hit the inside of the post. Scollard might have had one of his own shortly after but failed to connect with McCaul’s sensational whipped cross after a great Sam Browne ball put him in down the wing. The visitors’ rearguad, expertly led by Al Kennedy gave Geoghegan excellent protection , and the closest Leixlip came was when 6’s header clipped the top of the crossbar. As the clock ticked over to 90 minutes, two of the Seaford subs combined for a great opportunity as Ran Tao found Michael Akingbade, whose finish was inches past the post But there was still time for the icing on the cake, as McCaul found Ben Kelly at the edge of the box, who lashed in with his left to seal the win Seaford: Oisin Geoghegan, Zitian Xiang, Darragh Roche Sam Browne, Al Kennedy, Ben Kelly, Thomas Murphy, Fionn Nally (Michael Akingbade, 77), Jack Keegan, (Ran Tao, 82) Ian Daly, (Jamie McCaul 28), Ryan Scollard Leixlip United: 1 Jamie Muddiman, 2 Thomas McCormack, 3 Sean Curran, 4 Ethan Krstinic, 5 Dylan Horan, 6 Alex Lynch, 7 Alex Brady, 8 Edward Fagan, 9 Alex Akinrintoyo, 10 Joey O'Sullivan, 11 Zac O'Sullivan.
