lead when a long punt forward from keeper Yaqub found Dale Hopson who superbly lifted the ball over Marine keeper Bayleigh Passant. Marine pulled a goal back with 2 minutes left thanks to Sol Solomon but the Seasiders held on to reach the last 32 for the first time in their history. The draw saw them paired with Conference North side Farsley Celtic, with the game to be played at Farsley on Saturday 14th January.

On the player front, Marske waved goodbye to Hull City loanee Olly Green, who returned to his parent club. Olly was a tremendous asset to Marske during his two months at the club, registering five assists, the highlight of which was the pass to Boyes, which secured the FA Trophy win at Matlock.

Joining the club are fellow Hull City player Harry Lovick, signed for a month. Lovick is a combative central midfielder, who spent time at Pickering Town last season. Jordan

Emery, primarily a left back, who can also play centre back and centre midfield has signed from Guiseley and the third signing is striker Josh Scott.
