George Melling came into the starting 11 replacing Lewis Grimshaw who travelled with the reserves. David Taylor, Ryan Brookes and Ike Williams returned to the squad and made the bench.

Coppull was looking to make this game 6 wins in 6 but they struggled to get into the game in the opening 30 mins. The game was paused when there was a head collision between Ryan Salmon and the Hesketh centre half. The game stopped for 28 minutes whilst we waited for the ambulance and got the injury sorted. The centre half was taken to hospital and was released later in the evening.

The game restarted and Coppull were a lot stronger. Both Ryan Salmon and Ryan Steele had chances to put Coppull in the league.

HT 0-0

Ryan Salmon was replaced by Ryan Brookes.
On the 50th minute, Kallum Banks was given a straight red for throwing the ball at a player. Coppull had to play a full 40 minutes with 10 men.
Straight after the red card, manager David Haughton made a tactical change and Ike Williams came on to replace Ryan Brookes. This worked very well as 10 minutes later, Ryan Steele carried on his fine goal scoring form with a fantastic free kick.

Southport had other chances to get back into the game but on the 79th minute, Daniel Banks broke through the defence and slotted home, scoring his first Coppull United goal, to make it 2-0. On the 90th minute, Southport got a goal back, making it a nervous ending to the much but Coppull managed to secure all 3 points.
FT: 2-1
