After two FAC encounters with Marine, both ending in draws after 90 minutes, we meet them again for the 3rd time in a week.
With cup competition set aside, this game features the top two sides in the league.
Reds are 2nd with 6 points from 2 games
Marine are 1st with 6 points from 2 games
Reds at home 1-0-0
Marine away 2-0-0
Recent Marine results:
24 Aug Marine 2-1 Reds (AET FACPRR)
21 Aug Reds 1-1 Marine (FACPR)
17 Aug Ramsbottom 0-3 Marine
14 Aug Newcastle Town 1-3 Marine
Warrington Rylands and Mossley also have a 100% record with 6 points from their two games. Kidsgrove, who we beat on day one have since won twice and also sit on 6 points.
Given the two close FAC encounters, it would suggest that this is likely to be another close game.
Here's hoping it is our turn to win this time and collect three valuable points. Come on you Reds.

This is a game neither side will want to lose, so another close game envisaged between these two strong teams. Reds 1 0 this time 🤗

Disappointed about the result last night but it was a big ask to get a result. Hope that Nic is alright for the game on Saturday but, like many others, am bloody sick of Marine! Hope that Goose is fit. God knows when Dav will be fit enough to play. Let us hope that we beat them on Saturday!! Why did he not bring on Jerome? Strange substitution to try and win the game.

All about the result todayđź‘Źđź‘ŹGreat effort, soaked up pressure from a good Marine side in second half and good to see some returns from injury

Be very surprised if these two sides were not fighting out the top position come end of season with Clitheroe and Warrington Rylands in the mix too.

Cracking result considering we were missing Jerome, Rigg, Casson, Evangelinos and Hebson. Also Dav only on the bench and Tinners and Carroll going off injured.
Thought we battled really well against a physical side who have some real pace and quality. If we were only to win one of the three games this week against them im glad it was this one.
New Defender looked solid when he came on, especially as pushing Clarke forward gave us an out, we struggled 2nd half to get going and it looked like Marine would equalise.
Thought Hubbold was brilliant all game, especially as the opposition looked to press him as soon as he was on the ball. New winger had a good first half but faded in 2nd but was his first match.
Scotty was a bit isolated up front, especially 2nd half when he was just chasing balls forward, would be good to get another striker fit/available to give him support.

With all of the absentees and the opposition being one of those likely to challenge for the title, this was a huge three points.
A completely different game to City of Liverpool, Marine pressed all over the park and we couldn’t get any fluidity into our forward play. It therefore became a battle and the early goal gave us something to hold onto.
Atkinson looked assured and defensively Wordsworth and Smith were terrific. The stand out player though was Brad Hubbold who put in a fantastic shift and produced some of the few moments of quality in the game.
I agree that the injury situation is somewhat ridiculous. It would be helpful to have some idea of what the injuries and timescales are. Rigg for example limped out of a friendly and hasn’t been mentioned since. Is there any chance of any of those not being involved today, returning on Monday?
