SCARBOROUGH GO OUT FIGHTING

Last Six Minutes of Cup Replay Yield Four Goals

SOUTHPORT TESTED

Scarborough offered plucky resistance in the F.A. Cup first round replay at Southport yesterday, but went down by 5 goals to 3, and Southport will now entertain Swindon Town in the second round.

Robinson, the Scarborough goalkeeper, saved his side from a heavier reverse, bringing off many remarkable saves, particularly in the first half. Southport won chiefly because of their greater finishing power.

With fewer chances than their rivals, Scarborough were always dangerous against a defence which has not been so hard pressed in any previous home game this season. Jolly, a former Southport player, was a grand centre-half for the losers, and in Rivers Scarborough had an inside forward who is out of his class on this showing. His work was brilliant.

The other forwards tried hard, but did not finish well.

Patrick opened the score for Southport after 10 minutes. Lister equalised in 33 minutes, only for Southport to take the lead again immediately through Hawkins, the best forward of the game.

Patrick added a third goal for Southport midway through the second half, and in a rousing finish four goals were scored in six minutes. First Patrick netted, then Rivers, and afterwards A. Scott and Hardy.
