Match report from Southport latest defeat

After a fine 45 minutes which saw the visitors establish a two goal lead the turning point came in the second minute of added time in the first half when Curzon pulled a goal back

Our first goal came on 13 minutes when Brad Holmes fired home from the edge of the area. Harry Flowers increased the lead on 34 minutes when after seeing his first header from a corner saved he followed up to hammer home the rebound.

The turn around started when a moment of hesitation in defence allowed Mols to fire home on 45+2 minutes.

Curzon started the second half much the brighter side and were level on 70 minutes when Hughes shot home from distance.

It was looking inevitable that the home side would snatch a winner and so it proved with Spencer finished from close range after fine work by the outstanding Jordan Richards.

The return game takes place on New Years Day with a 3pm Kick Off.
