Before the match the team were playing tig and enjoying themselves, but playtime was soon over and it was back to work, this week against the Spartans.
It took just six minutes for the Popular Side Pundit to sum up the whole game as being beyond Southport who would be lucky to get to ten minutes without conceeding. Southport backed off far too mch and allowed Blyth to attack. Richard Whiteside made some great saves to keep the scores level at 0-0.
Southport threatened most from corners and free kicks near to the area. It was the only time Port had players in the box. It was Chris Lever who took advantage of the pressure and scored with a header after half an hours play.
Blyth didn't give up hope though and looked likely to score much to the frustration of Whiteside and Lee.
In the second half Southport managed to score from open play when Neil Robinson intercepted the ball which came to Mark Houghton who confidently scored. This was most definately not an own goal. Houghtons goal seemed to wake the rest of the squad up, even Robinson decided to wake up and take part in the match.
Whiteside still had plenty of work to do though ad was outraged when Southport stood by and let Blyth score to make for a very tense 20 minutes. Houghton was injured and had to be treated (by Blyths keeper of all people). Blakeman came on with Josh Hine who looked a promising player. Both sides had chances to score but with much relief the match ended with Southport winning 2-1.
MOTM: Richard Whiteside
Popular Side Pundit: As Southport score to make it 2-0 "We dont deserve it"
