A lovely summers day saw an excellent performance from The Sandgrounders coming out 2-1 winners against EFL Crewe Alexandra.
Two superb first half goals from Arthur Gnahoua in the 40th minute and Luke Burgess on the stroke of half time saw the home side deservedly go into the break with a 2-0 lead.
The two great goals were nearly eclipsed when a shot from Danny Lloyd rattled the crossbar in the 50th minute for what would have been an early contender for Goal Of The Season!
A number of changes disrupted the rhythm midway through the second half but Southport always looked dangerous on the break.
Crewe did pull a goal back from the penalty spot in the 78th minute as their late pressure paid dividends and they got the goal they deserved but Southport held on for the win.
No goals conceded from open play, just the two penalties in three games and Neil was a happy man when he spoke to Rob after the game.
