National Premier League strugglers Seba United and Naggo Head advanced to the next round of the all-island Red Stripe Champions Cup in contrasting styles yesterday.

Montego Bay-based Seba came from behind to trounce Port Morant All Stars of St. Thomas 9-1 for an 11-2 aggregate win with Wilfred Smith and Glenroy Miller both scoring hat-tricks.

Patrick Newness had given Port Morant a seventh-minute lead but had no answer for the home team at Catherine Hall.

Miller netted in the 24th, 33rd and 65th minutes while Smith scored in the 53rd, 69th and 67th minutes. Jermaine Bucknor (63rd), Omar Reid (75th) and Theodore Whitmore (87th) completed the rout.

Meanwhile, Naggo Head battled to a 0-0 draw with Sporting Central, advancing on the away goal rule after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

In the other games, Duhaney Park edged Trelawny's Holland United 1-0 at the Elliston Wakeland Centre to advance 1-0 on aggregate.

Montpelier of Hanover thrashed St. Ann Bauxite 5-0 for a 6-1 aggregate win while St. Mary's Star Cosmos advanced 5-3 after playing to a 2-2 draw with Frome of Westmoreland.

At the Ferdie Neita Park, home team Naggo Head, fresh from their first win in the premier league, were expected to put away Super League team Sporting Central but struggled throughout.

Andre Clennon, the Most Valuable Player in the Manning Cup, captain Patrick Edmondson, Mark Newsome, Eltham schoolboy Dwayne Hunter, Kemoy Reid and Layton Barrett dominated but could not penetrate the Clarendon team.

Naggo Head had a couple of close shaves but Newsome, Hunter and the tall Jermaine Clarke were denied over and over again by some bold goalkeeping from Sporting Central's Wado Ricketts.
