Loan Signing Finlay Lockett

Finlay Lockett has joined the club on loan from Bolton Wanderers until the end of the season.

Finlay is an attacker who can play wide or through the middle. He started out as a youth player with Burnley before making the move to Bolton in 2019 where he became the second youngest ever player to play for the club at the age of 16.

A prolific scorer in the Bolton Under 18’s during the 2020-21 season but injured his ACL at the end of that season and missed most of the 21-22 season before signing a professional contract with Wanderers for 22-23 which was further extended for the 23-24 season.

Finlay has also had a spell on loan at Atherton Collieries.

Farsley Celtic Away On Good Friday 3pm Kick Off

We have a trip over The Pennines to Farsley Celtic on Friday with a 3pm Kick Off.

Marcus Carver and Luke Burgess will be available for selection for this game as the suspensions don’t kick in until a week after the red cards. Both will be serving a four match ban making the game at Farsley their last of the season.

Matty Thomson is making good progress and will be back in contention for a place in the squad.

Ticketing details from Farsley are HERE

We are hoping to bring commentary from this game subject to Wi-Fi dongle and power working.

Farsley are on a poor run and go in to the game having slipped down to 19th place in the table and with just one win in their last ten games and will be looking to get some much needed points on the board.

Post Match | Jim After The Home Win Against Bishop’s Stortford

Jim gives us his thoughts after the home win against Bishop’s Stortford.

Southport 4 Bishop’s Stortford 1

Report By Matty Hurst

Just the sixth home league win comes at a crucial time as Port move up to 15th with just 5 games left.

The windy conditions played a part in the opening stages of the game with both sides struggling to create chances early on.

Bennett’s header in the 13th minute being the highlight of the early proceedings, resulting in a goalline clearance for the visitors, but it was Southport who opened the scoring after Hmami’s half-volley nestled into the corner in the 37th minute.

Port raised their tails after taking the lead adding two goals in quick succession, after clever thinking by Carver made it two before Bennett at the back post made it three on the stroke of half time.

The home side started the second half in the same manner as they ended the first, but a flurry of chances came and went before the visitors claimed what was merely a consolation goal with 15 minutes to play after a volley by Charles beat McMillan in goal.

With the clock ticking down Southport had one final chance in added time and as the ball landed at Philliskirk’s feet, the midfielder made no mistake in firing past the keeper scoring his first for the club and making it 4-1 on the night.

The attention turns to Friday now as an away trip to Farsley Celtic awaits, which has a kick off time of 3pm.

Line up: Mcmillan, Quansah, Arthur, Hockenhull, Anson (c), Doyle, Philliskirk, Lloyd (Burgess 79′), Hmami, Bennett (Russ 81′), Carver.

Unused subs: Flowers, Evans, Heath

Attendance: 607 (10 away)

The Southport Brewery Sponsored Man Of The Match chosen by our Match Sponsors and also receiving the Adam Le Roi Trophy was Josh Hmami.

Walking Footballers In Action Today

A squad of seven of our Walking Footballers took part in a 6 a side friendly against a strong Neston Nomads side and put in a great performance before going down 5-3.

Conditions were far from ideal, it was cold and very blustery but over the 80 minutes played in 4, 20 minute sections it was a great workout for the lads who are gearing up for this years National Walking Football Cup in three age groups, over 60, 65 and 70.
