Southport RFC will host Wigan this Saturday (5th of April 2025) at Waterloo Road in what promises to be a thrilling contest. Southport come into the game on the back of an impressive 21-59 win away at Hoylake, while Wigan secured the Counties 2 championship with a dominant victory over Bolton in their previous outing. Both teams are in strong form, and with both sides keen to maintain their momentum before their respective cup campaigns, this fixture is shaping up to be a closely contested affair.

Earlier in the season, Southport secured a dramatic 21-23 win at Douglas Valley, with a last-minute try from Lewis Fusco sealing Wigan’s only home defeat of the campaign. Given the recent form of both teams, this weekend's meeting is expected to be a much tighter encounter. While Southport have had some injury concerns of late, there is hope that key players will return to the squad, giving them a much-needed boost ahead of the match. The game is expected to draw a large crowd, with the club also hosting its annual lunch, adding to the vibrant atmosphere at Waterloo Road.

Kick-off is set for 3:00pm, but the bar will be open from midday, so be sure to arrive early to enjoy pre-match refreshments and soak up the atmosphere. As always, entry to the game is free, making it the ideal Saturday outing for families and rugby fans alike.
