Jacob Dawson and Mike Manteit will remain as Co-Captains for the second year.

Willis was Vice-Captain in 2022, and Crossley has been elevated to the joint-position after two years in the Leadership Group.

Southport Coach Steve Daniel said, “I’m very happy with our Leadership Group that we have assembled for 2023.”
