The skies were clear over Haig Ave today as chevrons of geese migrated high above. Southport started well in the first half but made things hard for themselves by scoring an own goal against the run of play. Adam Flynn headed the ball (which looked to be going out for a goal kick) into his own net but the goal was announced as a King Lynn goal to save his blushes.
Steve Daly leveled the score and Ciaran Kilheeney took the lead with his.
After half time Southport didn't dominate the game in the same way. Twice Southport were down to 10 men as first Moogan then Neil Robinson left to receive treatment. The referee didn't get a grip of the game and ignored Kings Lynn players when they held, tripped and pulled the shirts of Southport players. More importantly he ignored a two footed challenge from behind on Matty McGinn, and after another bad challenge only gave a yellow card for a third challenge that took Duffy off his feet. No one could have argued with a red card. The referee soon blew for the end of the game to avoid any more upset.
Southport won the points but two people spoilt the game, the referee and the moaning git behind me who never has a good word to say about Southport FC.
MOTM: Matty McGinn
