At Marske?! They're punching above their weight (no pun intended). I wonder how they pulled that one off.

Is it punching above your weight (pardon the pun with Woodhouse)? . He was a manager of a club in the same division albeit higher up.

Well there is that. I was just a bit surprised it was someone I had actually heard of and had had a decent pro career at a good level. He'll be a bit of a minor celebrity around Marske!

It's a unique and special place to play football. A great fan following, top players and a real sense of community about the place.
 
Good club Marske, they let South Shields postpone their game this week so Shields can focus on their 1st round FA Cup game against Forest Green this Saturday (12pm kick off which i'll be going to then mad dash down the A19 for the Boro game)

I know! I'm in Saltburn, I've been to loads of matches. I wouldn't say they're 'my' team, but it's a great way to spend an afternoon. Non league football is a whole different experience to watching Boro. Marske have done well to attract this guy.

It's a real shame Saltburn don't have a better non league club. Plenty of players about over that way and over towards the Moors and back again towards Middlesbrough. Or is it more of a cricket orientated town?

Don't the folks over the Moors have other interests, something to do with shoving sheep's hind legs down their wellies?
But seriously Redcar is the strange one. A town that size and the only decent footie team Redcat Athletic only in the Northern league. It wasn't formed till 1993 and even then it was called Teesside Athletic.
I know Marske have been going through some financial problems but the village should be proud of their football club which is punching well above its weight.
The state of the facilities at the ground could hinder further promotion up the pyramid.

Redcar won't be in the northern league for long. They've got a good project going on down there, especially with the youth team setup been a great pathway into adult football.
