The Sandgrounders completed interviews with short-listed candidates last week and are poised to make an announcement on who will succeed Liam Watson.

TARLETON B beat St Teresa's B 5-2, only taking control of the aggregate in the last few shots of the match in this Southport & District Summer Snooker League encounter.

The 29-year-old's contract came to an end after the final game of the season and the Sandgrounders have let the club captain go.

The 53-year-old is part of a large field of candidates who have put themselves forward to replace Liam Watson after he stepped down at the end of the season.

GOING into the club at that time was a really good test for me because I went into the club where there was a lot of 'names' and players who had enjoyed big careers.

LIAM WATSON will leave "a legacy of success" at Southport which will be hard to follow, according to the club's Commercial and Community Director Haydn Preece.

LIAM WATSON'S final game in charge of Southport ended in a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Luton Town.
