Southport 5 Gainsborough Trinity 3

With Southports strikers on form I hoped for goals and wasn't disappointed. Southport got off to a dream start scoring 3 goals in the first 15 minutes. Ashley Winn scoring on his home debut after just 58 seconds.
You would think such a start would make the Southport fans happy but some are always hoping for the worst. What was worse than listening to them predicting the downfall of the 3 goal lead was watching the three Gainsborough goals going in to prove them right. The Southport defence was missing Lever and Connolly and was largely terrible. The crowd were quick to boo their team and shout abuse at the manager and keeper.
Luckily the midfield and forwards made up for the defensive failings and scored the goals to win the game.
The match ended 5:3, 8 goals and an entertaining game.

MOTM Ashely Winn
Popular Side Pundit: (at 3:2) "Its lucky they got the third goal or they could be losing 3:2"
