SOUTHPORT FEDERATION

The Southport Federation team enjoyed an excellent 20-12 victory against Doncaster in their July fixture, which keeps them in contention for a promotion place to the National League Division 4.

The home leg was played at Scarisbrick NSC and resulted in a 9-3 success for Southport. Amongst the winners were Chris Porter (21-11), Fergal Wright (21-16) and Andy Draper (21-9).

The away team travelled to play at Tickhill Bowling Club and they came away with a creditable five winners. This included excellent wins for Kez Adams (21-14) and Darren Edgerley (21-17).

Southport go into their final fixture in 3rd place and a good win against Bury could see them claim a top two spot. Details of the team selection and venue for the match will be included in the August Newsletter.
