Zach Molloy and Nick Williams were solid in defence whilst Jackson Edwards led the way in front of goals with three majors.
Zac Foot (25 disposals, 11 marks and a goal) was good in his 50th game for Southport, as was Keegan Gray (26 disposals and 12 marks) in his first game back from injury.
After the match Southport Coach Matt Primus said, “To retain the Mackenzie Cup was outstanding as Doc means an enormous amount to our football club.
“I was really proud of the boys efforts as the Suns have been in good form and it was a tough game.”
