Southport 3 Burscough 0

There was a hint of mist about tonight. A good crowd of just under 1000 came for the postponed New Years day derby. Chris Holland returned to Haig Ave in green for St Patricks Day.
The game was fairly even in the first half up to the last 10 minutes when Southport started dominating. Adam Flynn scored from a corner 5 minutes before the half time whistle.
In the second half with Robbie Booth playing up front as a striker rather than on the wing Southport were a lot more threatening. Obviously under orders to shoot on sight the Port attacked. Matty McGinn, having a great game, scored Southports second, a very nice goal.
Bootha nd Kilheeney were subbed for Smart and Leadbetter and the attack continued. Leadbetter almost scored a couple of times but it was Alan Smart who got the third goal 15 minutes before the end.
The attacking football certainly got the crowd backing the team again.

MOTM Robbie Booth (and Matty McGinn)
