Carnforth travelled the distance to Southport at the weekend - again without key players - but a strong performance saw them come away with a 56 - 3 victory to move back into the top 2 in Division 3 North.
Mathew Short led the way with 34 points - 4 tries and 7 conversions, Nathan OConnor scored 3 superb tries from full back with debutant Sam Edmondson grabbing a try, Donald Haddow with one conversion.
Southport were excellent hosts at superb facilities and we wish them well.
