Fresh squad makes flying start

Saturday's visitors, Southport, are currently 2nd in the National League North, having beaten Bradford Park Avenue 2-1 away on Tuesday night. This followed an opening day 4-0 win against Boston United. This was in spite of having to assemble a squad from scratch following relegation with only one player remaining.

The Sandgrounders are one of the former Football League clubs to visit this season. They joined in 1921 and were the last club to be voted out under the re-election process in 1978: Southport

The club places particular value on 33-year old attacking midfielder Steven Schumacher. He is combining playing for Southport with a coaching role at Everton.

However, he was injured against Boston after sending a 25-yard free kick into the top right-hand corner of the goal.
