Marine 1 Southport 5 Liverpool Senior Cup

I was one of the first Southport fans at Marines ground tonight. There weren't many people that bothered to come out to watch this match, fewer than last year.
The team Southport put out was a mixture of first team players like Davis, Lever, Booth, Gray and Powell, youth players like Peter Moore and John Hedges, coaches Price and Smart and out of favour keeper Drench. A strong starting line up.
It was the tiny John Hedges who took the lead just 29 seconds into the game. His lead didn't last long with Marine equalising with Shaun Tuck's goal after 9 minutes. There were three more Southport goals in the first half two from Robbie Booth, who had had a lot of the ball, and one from Shaun Whalley.
There were three subs in the second half and just one more goal from Shaun Gray. There were few highlights in the second half other than the goal. Both teams came together to discuss a Southport foul and there were a few bookings following that.
