Outcomes of the 2017-18 Season

 All Southport teams had extremely successful seasons, but despite this just failed to win any silverware.

 The 1st Team finished 2nd in Division 2,  despite the poor start to the season when one match had to be defaulted because of player non-availability. the 1st Team player of the Year was Fergal Wright with 10.5 points  - an 80.8% success rate.

 The 2nd Team finished 2nd Division 4. and completed the season without having to default a single board despite the numerous trips to the Wirral. The 2nd team Player of the Year was Danny Green with 13.5 points out a possible 16. Danny was also the joint Division 4 player of the year.

 In the Knotty Ash Cup the Southport team made it all the way to the final - but missed out on silverware by finishing runners up.

2nd Team win Division 4!

  Southport 2nd team got the same number of match points as the runners-up Aigburth 3, but had half a point more board points.  So every single win and draw were a vital contribution for the title.  This is a particularly good result as Southport hasn't had a  2nd team for a few years and it has only been possible to reinstate the team this season because of the new members who joined us after the Covid lockdowns.
