"Is there a better backdrop for a game of rugby at this level than the top pitch at Aigburth overlooked by the green and white gabled building which simply oozes tradition and character? Backed by an impressive support on the balcony and pitchside Southport went into the game knowing that nothing less than a bonus point win was needed."

It is good to see hard work paying off, both on the pitch and for those who have put a lot of effort into making the Top Pitch events so successful. Long may this continue.
