Match Report by St@tto

Harriers were not at their best as they slipped to their first defeat of the season at Haig Avenue.

A bright start for Harriers saw them nearly take the lead in the opening 30 seconds, Craig Reid getting on the end of a long throw by Kevin Nicholson but directed his close-range shot straight at Daniel Lloyd-Weston in the home goal.

For the first few minutes of the game Harriers had The Sandgrounders pegged back and created chances to open the scoring with Reid and Reece Styche who was making his first start of the season both testing Lloyd-Weston.

Southport took the lead when Harriers failed to deal with a corner from the left; Joe Connor was fastest to react after Danny Lewis had saved his first attempt and stabbed the ball home from close range with 26 minutes on the clock.

Early in the second half Southport should have doubled their advantage first Scott Kay headed against the post, Richard Brodie then followed up but his tame effort was held by Lewis.

As the second half progressed Harriers found themselves more and more on the back foot and struggling to break down the home defence.  Their best chance of the half came on the hour mark when Nathan Blissett headed over from Nicholson's corner.

Even when Southport were reduced to ten men for the last eight minutes following the sending-off of Brodie for a second yellow card Harriers could not find a way through.
