After three defeats in a row there was a nervousness around the ground ahead of the game but by 4.55 that had disappeared after a fine 3-2 home win for The Sandgrounders.

A first ever goal for Sonny Hilton in the 14th minute put the home side ahead after some very neat build up play but this was quickly cancelled out by the visitors in the 16th minute, A shot looked to be going well wide but looked like it caught on the wind and crept in at the far post.

Southport regained the lead through a sharp finish from Danny Lloyd in the 54th minute and it was David Morgan with his 20th league goal for the club who put the icing on the cake in the 90th minute.

There was still time for Buxton to pull a goal back to create an anxious last couple of minutes in added time but the home side held out quite comfortably to take all three points.

Line Up: Renshaw, Thomson, Doyle, Knight-Percival, Lloyd(Owolabi 82), Proctor(Carver 68), Quansah, Moore, Hilton (Morgan 69) Burgess (Spooner 80) Philliskirk Unused Sub Stafford.
