In Olympic year it’s appropriate that the Mariners end their home season by welcoming Rushall Olympic to the Arriva Stadium for their first ever visit ……..

Marine beat Olympic 1-0 at their Dales Lane ground in Walsall back in December thanks to a Paul Brown stunner. The two clubs sit 7th and 8th in the league with the Mariners enjoying a significant 12 point gap.

Rushall will need to display the stamina features of a Grand National favourite as they face their third away trip in 6 days. Wins at Bradford Park Avenue and Chasetown, however, suggest that Marine will need to be at their best if they are to end their home league fixtures with a long awaited win.

Marine boss Kevin Lynch was disappointed with their home draw against Burscough on Monday but is pleased with their achievements this season “We had enough clear chances to beat Burscough comfortably but I am pleased with our attitude. I commend the lads for their achievements this season – they are an honest hard working bunch of lads.” On the injury front Robbie Lawton is struggling with damaged ribs.

The Pics have impressed in their first season at this level. They are assured of a high placed finish in the league and three cup finals await them once they have completed their league campaign.
