Southport ‘E’ ( ‘E’ for expired )completed the season’s fixtures with a visit to Argyle on Monday 17th March & improved marginally on the result in the home fixture but still went down 1-9.
Following the victory in the last match and the draw in the one prior to that there was hope that the improvement would continue but a strong Argyle team led by Chris Coogan gave little away.
Pitting Ken against Argyle’s no. 3 proved a good strategic move & gave the team great psychological boost when Ken ran out the winner in 5 games. That proved to be the extent of our success, however, as the remaining 9 games were lost despite sterling efforts by the rest of the team. To Ken’s great glee he finished the season by being able to say that he won one game against Chris Coogan in his singles encounter.
