Gainsborough Trinity boss Brian Little thought his side were good value for Tuesday night's FA Trophy 1-0 first round replay victory over Southport.

Lewis McMahon's lofted first-half goal was the difference at the Northolme, as Trinity set up a second round home tie with Blue Square Premier side Tamworth.

Little told BBC Lincolnshire: "I think we deserved it over the two games.

"It's always a worry at 1-0 but I felt we coped better with the pressure than we have in most games this season."

Blue Square North leaders Southport will now press on with their promotion bid as they bid to improve on their eight-point lead at Hinckley United on Saturday.
