Southern were under strict orders to make a sharp start against Hamilton, and they complied with high intensity pressure on the visitors.
Danny Furlong snapped at defenders, Eric Molloy showed sprinter's pace, Andy Mulligan ran with the ball tied to his laces, and consequently Hamilton had its back to the wall.
Despite the northern side having scored 6 goals last week, coach Paul O'Reilly's Southern side kept a 'clean sheet' with keeper Liam Little in fine form - including a penalty save.
Sleeves rolled up - it's Canterbury away next week - GO Southern !!!
