Southport 2 Gravesend & Northfleet 2

The rain stopped just in time for kick off, moving the kickoff to 3pm made sense after all. The first half was pretty terrible despite having all the goals. The first two goals came from well taken free kicks in an otherwise dire game. The next two came from some good football before half time. Booth worked hard and put the cross in for Powell to score.
Cook did plenty of shouting during the first half and no doubt did plenty during half time to get his team fired up. Powell was maybe too fired up and got himself sent off early in the second half, leaving the ten men of Southport to hold out for 45 minutes. As it happened though the second half was a vast improvement on the first. Southport played some good attacking football and didnt look like they missed the eleventh man. Booth had a great second half and Hoolickin showed he has a decent left foot. Neither side managed to get the winning goal and a draw was a fair result. Tony Gray came on as a sub in the second half and looks promising, although we still need an experienced player up front to get the goals.
