📷 A sequence of photographs that made us smile from last Saturday, captured brilliantly by @Wainmat.

It is a great moment as homegrown Harrison Carney goes over under the posts, before being celebrated by one of our mini and junior players who looks absolutely delighted.

[Southport RFC @SouthportRFC]

A brilliant snapshot of what the club is all about, inspiring the next generation of rugby players here in Southport.

@SouthportRFC Sometimes, when you've got a camera in your hands, you get lucky. Capturing moments like this always makes me smile.
