Good afternoon and welcome from Haig Avenue
Southport team just announced:
Southport - McMillan; Lever; Marsh-Evans; Flynn; Davis; Winn; Booth; Powell; Simm; Kilheeney; McGinn. Subs-Gray; Lake; Barratt; Barnes; Daly.
Blyth - Bell; Harrison; Doninger; Tait; Williams; Pell; McCabe; Turnbull; Brayson; Graham; Dale. Subs-Todd; Norton; Gillies; Bates; Alexander.
An over-cast, cool afternoon at Haig Avenue.
A team change for Blyth - Mark Donniger now starts in place of Darren Craddock. Josh Gillies takes the place of Donninger on the bench!
Looking at the league table, Blyth's away record is not strong, having won only twice from 12 games, drawing 5 and losing 5!
Kevin Lee is likely to be out for a few weeks, but Chris Lever is back in action today.
As both teams come out to a fairly quiet Haig Avenue!
Not too many in attendance today!
