2 - 1 v Oxford City (A) 18/10/2025 
On this day in 1967, in their 40th League meeting Port beat Barrow. A bumper gate at Haig avenue saw Southport climb into second place in the Third Division but it was Arthur Peat who took the headlines, after being sent off for the first time in this seven year League career. He had not previously even received a single caution.
