Southport FC

Southport FC progressed to the semi-final of the Lancashire Challenge Trophy with a 4-0 win over Bacup Borough.

It was far from plain sailing for The Sandgrounders in the first period with Bacup creating a number of good openings and they could easily have gone in with a half time lead.

Danny Lloyd missed a penalty in the 37th minute after Luke Burgess had been fouled in the box.

The second half saw a much improved Southport side run in four goals.

47 Minutes Danny Lloyd finish after good work by Will Russ

61 Minutes another assist for Russ and Jordan Archer slots home

66 Minutes Matty Thomson with a cross and Festus Arthur with a lovely finish.

88 Minutes Danny Lloyd with his second direct from a free kick.

It could have been more in the second half but after a shaky start the annual semi final at Leyland beckons.
