BLUES MATCH PREVIEW: Southport v Chester FC

Monday, 10 April 2023 07:55

Just four games remain now, and a short trip to Haig Avenue comes on Easter Monday as the Blues look to secure third spot.

An uneventful Good Friday draw at home to Chorley in front of a fantastic crowd saw the Seals all but secure their play-off spot, with the next task now to lock up a top three place and ensure a Deva Play-Off Semi Final.

Southport have lost three successive games and are five points clear of the drop, so a positive result in this big encounter could also prove crucial for the Sandgrounders in this Bank Holiday clash.

Kick off on Easter Monday is 3pm.
