Southport Match is ON

It rained heavily in the night but the usual area of concern on the pitch was covered. The covers are now off and the groundstaff are working on the pitch and will continue to do so. 

Southport return to home action today with a visit from high flying AFC Fylde.

After a setback last Saturday with a first defeat in 9 games, The Sandgrounders will be looking to bounce back but face a stiff test against an in form AFC Fylde side.

Southport are yet to beat The Coasters in four attempts. It was an ill tempered affair the last time the sides met at Haig Avenue with manager James Rowe seeing red and sent to the stands. He is no longer in the AFC Fylde hotseat with Adam Murray now in charge.

Manager Liam Watson will be without Keenan Quansah who picked up a red card at Peterborough Sports last Saturday and will serve the first of a two match ban but is hopeful of having Tyler Walton back after a bad illness that has sidelined him since before Christmas.
