Seaton added the EB Lamb and Son Top Four trophy to the Cumberland Cup with a comprehensive 48-6 win over Maryport.
A crowd of over 800 at Workington Town’s Fibrus Community Stadium saw the villagers produce a vibrant performance from the first whistle.
They led 12-0 after eight minutes; were 24-0 up at half-time and Maryport hadn’t reached their 22 until five minutes before half-time.
When Seaton scored again two minutes after the restart the game was virtually over as a contest.
Maryport did show more attacking go-forward in the second half, went close on a couple of occasions, before scoring a consolation try.
But the night belonged to Seaton who finished the game with eight tries all converted by Ciaran Walker.
Both Walker and his fellow dual registration player Ellis Nixon were influential performers for Seaton along with skipper Lewis Brown.
However it was workaholic hooker Liam Williamson, who grabbed two of the tries, who took the man of the match award.
Notoriously slow starters Maryport had had been been scythed open after only four minutes when Jon Carl Bryan finished off well.
Four minutes later the lead was doubled when teenage full-back Jaiden Tallentire got round the Maryport defence to score the second try.
Williamson got the first of his brace.
His second try on 34 minutes enabled Seaton to go in at half-time with a 24-0 lead.
There had been a brief period of Maryport pressure just before the break but Seaton’s defence stood firm.
To get back into it, Maryport needed a quick score in the second-half but instead it was Seaton who scored again after their restart kick had been spilled.
Seaton built from there and Jordan O’Leary found the gap to score.
When another youngster Byron Coulson went over on 48 minutes it really was a case of damage limitation for Maryport.
To their credit they put together their best spell of the game and after Attlee Skillen and Scott Atherton had gone close they got their try on 58 minutes from Alex Woodhall, converted by Lewis Moore.
By the end, though, Seaton were back on top and scored further tries from Tom Dover and Tallentire.
