Seba United recorded their first win under the guidance of Danilo Barriga when they defeated the still winless Naggo Head 2-1 at the Elliston Wakeland Centre, in Trelawny, yesterday.

Wilfred Smith from the penalty spot in the 47th minute and Delroy Ellis in the 79th scored for Seba United, while goalkeeper, Jacomena Barrett, pulled one back for Naggo Head in the 80th minute.

It was not one of the brightest games though both teams created and missed a number of chances. When the half-time break came it must have been a relief for the small number of spectators who turned out.

The game sprung to life upon the resumption as Ellis who played in a deeper role overlapped down the right flank, worked his way into the 18-yard box before he was deemed to have been stopped unfairly by Andre Darby. Referee Ricardo Sailsman pointed to the penalty spot.

Smith stepped up to the penalty spot and dispatched the ball past an motionless Jacomena Barrett in goal.

Seba United upped the pace of their game in the 68th minute when they introduced the speedy Bucknor into the game along with Theodore Whitmore, who joined the game at half-time. Bucknor made his presence count in the 79th minute when he worked his way down the left flank and crossed out of the reach of Barrett for the onrushing Ellis to capitalise.

Ellis collected the ball and steered a left-footer into an almost empty goal.

A minute later, the score was 2-1 as Barrett stepped up to convert a penalty.

The excitement did not end there as Barrett, who was overheard muttering profanity, was ejected for foul, abusive and insultive language with a minute to play.

"It is my first victory and I am happy. The team is starting to get steady," a pleased Barriga said after the game.
