Seydak impressed by former club’s display

Institutes Mark Forker tussles with Cliftonville striker David McDaid, during Saturdays match at Drumahoe.

Cliftonville defender Eamonn Seydak conceded his old club Institute shocked him and his team-mates, on Saturday.

The left-back also remarked that the Reds could have been trailing at the break as the Waterside men had caused them a lot of problems particularly in the first half.

“It doesn’t matter how you win matches, we came to Drumahoe for three points and thankfully we got them,” said Seydak.

“We knew it was going to be a hard game and it proved just that.

“To be fair to Stute they knocked it around brilliantly in the first half, we knew that was going to be the way they were going to play.

“If I’m being honest we struggled to deal with it.

“I also think scoring very, very early on didn’t help us, I think we maybe took our foot off the gas a wee bit and Stute capitalised on that.

“To be honest they probably could have went in ahead at half-time.
