Southport FC 1 Banbury United 2
Southport FC fell to a disappointing defeat at home to Banbury United despite taking the lead through a Jordan Archer goal in the first half.
Sadly it was the same old story with poor finishing letting the home side down again.
It was a much better performance than Saturday but it still ended in defeat.
Jordan Archer’s goal came in the 38th minute from a corner taken by Charlie Munro which he rose well to head past the despairing dive of Harding in the Banbury goal. After that the Sandgrounders looked in control but Banbury had other ideas,
In a golden spell for the visitors Williams headed a superb goal from a free kick from distance that beat everyone in the 78th minute and just 90 seconds later Joe Adams who had an excellent game seemed to get his feet tangled up and the ball ended up in his own goal.
Southport threw everyone forward in a desperate attempt to get the equaliser but it was not to be and the visitors headed home with three points in the bag.
The Southport Brewery Man Of The Match chosen by our Matchball Sponsors The Rigby Group and receiving The Adam Le Roi Trophy was Tyler Walton.
It was a double award night for Tyler last night as he also scooped the March Player Of The Month award as voted for by supporters.
