Seaford 6-1 St Patrick's CY

LSL Saturday Major 1

Seaford rattled in five goals in 20 first half minutes to coast to victory at the Rockies.

The visitors had the first chance of the afternoon when Niall Barr got free at a corner but his header bounced over the bar.

Seaford opened the scoring through striker Michael Akingbade who raced through to convert Rob O'Shea's through-ball, and the in-form bagsman turned provider, laying on three assists in quick succession as the Penguins ran riot. Fionn Nally got his first Seaford goal after good work from Akingbade, before Jack Keegan buried a scissors kick and moments later converted a penatly that he won himself.

Nally made it 5-0 on 28 minutes after a shimmy of he hips to sit down keeper Andrew O'Dwyer before walking the ball into the net, and Keegan ought to hae completed his hat-trick, missing a sitter when clean through , before curling just wide with his left just before half-time. 

The second half was largely uneventful. Akingbade almost bagged a trademark wondergoal, bamboozling a defender on the byline before smashing it from a tight angle, but O'Dwyer got in the way.

With fifteen to play,  Jeremie Mputu lashed home a volley to pull one back for Pats CY, but it was Seaford who completed the scoring when Keegan made a clever late run to beat the offisde trap and crossed for  O'Shea to tap in.
