Naas AFC’s U14 Premier side were simply sensational, smashing Rathangan 10–0 to storm into round three of the SFAI Trophy.

The hosts took control from the first whistle. Five minutes in, Leo whipped a wicked cross across goal, Hin kept it alive and Stephen swept home the opener. Senan Smyth then took over — twice fed by Peter, he rounded the keeper to make it 2–0 before clipping another over the advancing stopper on the stroke of half-time. Three up at the break and it was game over.

The second half was a blitz. Senan volleyed home his hat-trick, then grabbed a fourth and a fifth as the goals rained in, with the magnificent Peter pulling the strings throughout. Adam fired high into the net, and big Max Kennedy rose to nod home his first of the season — then, like buses, headed his second just five minutes later. Mikey rounded it off with a curling right-footed beauty into the far corner.

Ten goals, a five-star showing from the dazzling Senan, and a tie put to bed before the break. Outstanding.
